Biography
My name’s Edith Frost (yes, my given name) and I’m a singer-songwriter currently based in San Francisco. I’ve lived all over the place though, in my birthplace San Antonio (1964-70); Austin (1970-73); Guadalajara (1973-79); Austin again (1979-81); San Antonio again (1981-82); Austin again (1982-90); Brooklyn (1990-96), Chicago (1996-2006) and Albany, California (2006-2009).
I’ve been playing music since I was a kid, and started writing songs and recording in my late teens. I didn’t play music in public until the early ’90s though, when I lived in Brooklyn. I started out playing classic-country cover songs with my friend Jeff Ragsdale… we formed a band called the Marfa Lights, and played a lot at a bar in Williamsburg called the Ship’s Mast. Met a gal from Houston there named Deborah Moore, and we started another thing called the Holler Sisters, playing oldtimey girly-duet songs. THEN in ‘93 I joined a rockabilly band (the Tailfins, which morphed into Edith & her Roadhouse Romeos), so at that point I was in three bands at once. I was also working on my original songs at the time, and decided I ought to send a few tapes out to see if a record label might be interested. Heard back from Drag City around ‘94 and I’ve been putting out records and touring ever since. I’m really lucky to have worked with so many great musicians.
