Ed Kowalczyk

Ed Kowalczyk is widely known as the legendary songwriter and former lead-singer of the multi-platinum rock band, LIVE. In 2013, Ed introduced his newest creative offering…the acoustic production - “I ALONE” ACOUSTIC, a nod to one of Kowalczyk’s most famous lyrics.

KOWALCZYK has built an impressive résumé that includes eight full-length albums with his former Live bandmates that have reached gold and platinum status in 9 countries, and nine Top 10 radio hits such as “Lightning Crashes”, “I Alone”, “Selling The Drama”, “The Dolphin’s Cry”, “Overcome” and “Heaven”, along with his first solo album in 2010, Alive, which spawned the hit single “Grace”, and the follow-up album in 2013, The Flood and The Mercy, which featured the hit song, “Seven”.

With over 20 Million albums sold worldwide, Kowalczyk led Live to become one of the most successful and enduring alternative rock bands of the last twenty years. In this latest acoustic production, KOWALCZYK will be performing songs from his entire Live catalog as well as songs from his solo releases.

One of the main elements that have enabled KOWALCZYK to maintain a devoted fan base is the substantial and durable nature of his lyrics, which have often reflected Ed's personal and spiritual concerns. “My approach as a songwriter is to write songs that are not finite and will resonate with listeners for a really long time,” KOWALCZYK asserts. “Twenty years after the first Live album, Mental Jewelry, I am still able to get something out of songs we recorded in the early 1990s--and I think that one of the reasons why I’ve had so many fans for so long is that the fans are also continuing to find nuances in the songs.”

KOWALCZYK is excited to be sharing this new look at some of the biggest hits of his career along with music from his solo albums in this dynamic and unique unplugged performance.
