Edward Howe
Music is my passion and I am living the dream of creating happiness through sound and movement. My wife and I have created Sound of Perfection. Through our company I am honored to play the fiddle, assist with your event, radio or television production as sound engineer, create a pro-audio package for your venue and install the system. Dance to some tunes, whether by my fiddle-hands or through my sound system, or sit back and relax for a concert.

It has been an honor to work with Ned Steinberger who put his NS Design electric fiddle in my hands. It is my immense pleasure to represent NS Design in the folk and traditional music scene.
Contra dances, weddings, concerts, festivals
Ed Howe plays in a number of bands currently. You can find him nourishing his routes in a bluegrass band, pushing the limits as a solo electronic artist, rocking it with a big band rock sound and of course driving that dance line. Although you may know him most predominantly by the infamous contra dance band of Perpetual e-Motion who gained an enormous popularity for their tight connection to eachother and the dancers. With the infection of a wild epidemic, Perpetual e-Motion caught the soul and the country. See below for Edward's band profiles.
Thank You to Marianne Whitman. Your family's support over my life has been truly heart warming, my life-long fan. Now to be playing the violin which you put your soul into is truly a blessing. Everytime I play our spirits meet. Thank you for your encouragement.
Barefoot
The most loveable band on the block. Both Ed and Jamie hail from Whitefield a small farming community in Midcoast Maine.
Jamie Oshima lends his talent, enthusiasm, innovation and creativity to Barefoot. A homeschooling high schooler, Jamie is currently touring with Ed, but don't let the young age fool you. Ed feels immensely privleged to be making music with such an amazing individual. Having fun with improv, blending in pop, beat boxing, quebecois style foot percussion, and a multitude of instruments these two guys are new and fresh! We are excited to announce Jamie has been accepted to Berkely School of Music, so book them this summer before he gets too busy for us.
