Bruddah Ed is the official mascot and ukelele artist in residence of The God Whisperers. Bruddah Ed hails from the island of Maui and comes to us via Bruce’s Hawaiian Shirt Shoppe of Ventura. When not attending to God Whisperers tapings, Bruddah Ed enjoys the music of Israel “IZ” Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole and sipping Blue Hawaiians in Craig’s backyard. One of Bruddah Ed’s best kept secrets is that he wears yellow on blue floral print briefs under his grass skirt just “for the ladies.”
