About Me

​Originally from Cupey, PR 🇵🇷 | Former Bostonian ; SF Resident.
​I’m a professional musician (sax player for Vivanativa 🎷🤘🏻) who lives for the stage and the road. After 7 years in the States, I’m back in Puerto Rico sharing my love for the island. Local artist

​About me:

​Musician life: If I’m not recording, I’m gigging. My house is a sanctuary of instruments, vinyl records, and one very cool cat named Bowie.
​The Vibe: Total 60s and 70s soul. I’m very easy-going and thrive on spontaneity—last-minute plans are usually the best ones.

​Random Skills: I do impressions and accents. If we hang out, you’ll probably hear a few movie characters come to life.
I tend to learn a bit about everything.

​Hobbies: Huge MMA fan and a dedicated record collector. Love Surfing 🏄‍♂️

​Hosting/Surfing:
I travel a lot for shows, so my calendar might be a bit chaotic. However, I’m a local tour guide at heart! Ask me for my curated map of PR—I’ll show you the spots the tourists miss.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once camped in the winter in Maine, and the temperature was -17 degrees Fahrenheit. Coming from a tropical island, I don't know how I made it out.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn new languages and accents. I'd love to help anyone to learn to play music and am definitely down for jamming!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly and generous, feel free to ask for places to go. But please be mindful and considerate. I'd love to take you hiking, to the beaches, with great and authentic food shops or I can also cook you a meal. Check my music out anywhere! Just search Ed Harvest✌🏼
