Jed Marum's list of albums on Boston Road Records play regularly on Folk Bluegrass and Celtic radio programs around the world, and are likewise distributed widely on all the major MP3 services. He has recorded and performed with some of the finest performers in Celtic and acoustic music today. And he brings his music to festival and club and concert venues throughout the US with over 150 shows each year.
In a review of Jed Marum's Irish in the Civil War album, FIGHTING TIGERS OF IRELAND, Nickey Rossiter said, "Jed Marum has a confident knack of taking the history of Ireland and the United States of America, combining them with music and creating some mini epics. This CD, subtitled A U.S. Civil War Collection, does on a single CD a task similar to the great PBS television series on the war." Nicky Rossiter writes on local history and general interest for numerous newspapers, magazines and journals in Ireland and is host of Stories on Ireland's South East Radio.
Jed's music is rich but uncomplicated. His voice and lyrics carry the tale and the wisdom beneath unfolds gently over time. In a review of Jed's MILES FROM HOME album, said Catherine L. Tully of celticmp3s.com said, "The simplicity of the music is its magic, which weaves around you and casts a rather lovely spell." And "This is one CD you need to experience for yourself, because it really is that good. If you enjoy folk-styled music, this is at the top of its field."
Jed's original songs and recordings have been licensed for use in film, TV and by other recording artists. His music is available on-line at CDBaby.com and at all major MP3 Music services. See more at jedmarum.com

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more.
In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue.
But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such.
So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights.
