Ed Armonas is guitarist from Lithuania, now based in the UK. He performs regularly in London and at festivals and venues across Europe. In 2013 he formed contemporary jazz outfit the Ed Arm Trio with bassist Matthew Read and drummer Joe Pearson, both fellow graduates from London’s prestigious Guildhall School of Music.
