Today, you probably guessed what state was represented today.
You would be wrong.
Eddie From Ohio are a folk group from Alexandria, Virginia. It is so named after Eddie Hartness.... but he's also not from Ohio. Ed fROMOHIO is a real person - Ed Crawford, from the California group fIREHOSE - and the person who gave Eddie Hartness that nickname - who was his girlfriend at the time - was clearly a fan.
They meant to change the name of the band, but they're more than three decades in, so it's a little late for that. Although the band stopped performing in 2022, they remain popular.
And yes, they have played in Ohio, but they spend most of their time in Virginia, outside of the control of major labels - and they've had some success.
This particular song was written by vocalist Julie Murphy Wells, and is a fan favorite. Can you blame the fans, though? It's beautiful.
Oh, if I didn't make it clear, it's Virginia day.
