Ed Jurdi listened to his father's eclectic music collection and began to show a musical interest at age 2 1/2, which his family encouraged by buying him a guitar. At Andover High he started the popular band Dr Head's Rhythm and Blues Revival which played a "lot of old rock-and-roll and old soul stuff," according to Jurdi. In 1999 he released his first CD ''Ed Jurdi'', a collection of 9 self-composed songs. In October 1999 he was performing about 20 shows a month, mostly in New Hampshire, When  he returned to Andover for a show in November 1999 he was playing more roots- inspired music.  He has said that his music doesn't fit into a specific category, but he "doesn't really mind what category people stuff him in, as long as they keep listening and he can keep playing." In 2003 he gave a concert in Haverhill to promote his second album ''Longshore Drive'' He said his performance would "sound like Van Morrison, with a lot of soul influences, including Otis Reading and James Brown." He had latched onto the Portsmouth NH music scene 5 years before and had been touring and performing since then.  
Nicholas Holt sailed from Southampton, England in 1635. He was one of the earliest settlers of Andover.  The site of the farmhouse is now known as Holt Hill.
