Eddie “Ed” Lynn Snodderly (born June 21, 1952) known since the 2020s by the stage name Es Pearl[1] is an American performer and songwriter and co-founder of the Down Home music venue and listening room in Johnson City, Tennessee.[2]

Biography

Snodderly was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. His grandfather was an old-time Appalachian fiddle player, and his father played guitar.[2] His family band played square dances around the East Tennessee area throughout his childhood. Apart from music Snodderly's family consisted of generations of cattle and tobacco farmers.[2]

In the 1970s Snodderly moved to Boston, Massachusetts for a record deal with Philo Records. He then traveled to the west coast of the United States to continue his musical work which would lead to the creation of his debut album “Sidewalk Shoes”, released in 1977.[2] Before the release of this record, Ed Snodderly would return home to East Tennessee and co-found the Down Home music venue.[2] Since opening its doors, the Down Home, seating about 150 people, has hosted many folk heroes such as Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush on its small stage.[3]

Ed Snodderly is one of many Appalachian folk musicians to appear in Joel and Ethan Coen's 2000 satirical comedy drama film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?[4] Ed can be seen playing the fiddle as one of the "Village Idiots".[5]

Career

Snodderly has spent a long portion of his career as a songwriter, cowriting and collaborating with the likes of Amythyst Kiah, Malcolm Holcombe, Missy Raines, John Cowan, Sam Bush, and Jerry Douglas.[2]

Snodderly currently teaches Songwriting to undergraduate students and is an Adjunct Faculty Member of the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass, Old-Time, & Roots Music Program in Johnson City, Tennessee.[6]
