Edd 'Catfish' Kray:

Catfish picked up his first guitar on Halloween 1958. He took his first private lesson that afternoon from Mike Trivison at Katell's Music Center in Garfield Heights Ohio. He played his first gig in 1962. at Ronnie's Bar on the west side of Cleveland, for a whopping $6., After school each day he'd sit in his room and practice for hours.

Catfish (known as Edd before 5 PM), was born in 1946 in Cleveland Ohio, shortly after his dad's return from a stint in Normandy, and Omaha Beach. He grew up in a strongly ethnic neighborhood, and was exposed to live music weekly at Polish weddings. By the late 60's his bands were competing with Joe Walsh, The James Gang, The Raspberries and Eric Carmen on the local Cleveland Teen Club circuit. His first recording was Big Beat 65 which received local airplay back in Cleveland.

The blues came naturally from Catfish's guitar, since 1958, but had been harnessed by the needs to play commercially, and fit in with other musicians doing rock and roll. It was time to get back to the blues in a more pure and simple form. Fortunately, at this time the Catfish & the Crawlers arose. Five musicians with an understanding of the blues and the talent to make playing the blues not just acceptable, but HOT.

For a decade (1998-2008) Catfish & the Crawlers entertained blues fans in Colorado, playing every blues club in town, numerous blues festivals, TV shows, and producing 3 demo CD's. Special mention needs to be made of our first lady vocalist, Loretta Erickson, who was the primary factor in making the band such a huge success. Catfish has been a regular contributor to the Colorado Blues Societies Newsletter, "The Holler", writing articles and reviews almost monthly for the past decade.

Larea Edwards:

"Her daddy was a preacher but her mama was an ally cat". Denver's Larea Edwards joins th Catfish family after years of experience in gospel and soul music. Both in the studio and onstage she has thrilled Colorado with her voice. Larea is very active in her church choir and yes, her daddy was really a preacher man. She'll be taking us to new places with her imaginitive and creative abilities.
