Edward Joel Kowalczyk (born July 16, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who's mostly known as the lead singer of the band {{Music/Live}}. After his toxic split from the band in 2009, he focused on a solo career of mostly Christian music. This page is for his career as a solo artist. Keep in mind that he performs any and all of his old songs from when he was with Live, so song-tropes from that era still apply to him. He rejoined Live in December 2016.

!! Tropes associated with Ed Kowalczyk:
* ArcWords: River, water, sun, desert.
* BigOlEyebrows: Yes, sir.
* ChristianRock: Much of Ed's newer material is explicitly Christian. That doesn't mean he shies away from performing his older songs that are known to contain a few...
* ClusterFBomb:
** "Shit Towne" repeats "Gotta live, gotta live in shit towne" twice in each chorus.
** "Waitress", while not vitriolic, has enough cursing that it's a wonder it didn't earn ''Throwing Copper'' a Parental Advisory sticker.
-->Some motherf***ing ''change!!!''
* ConceptVideo: The videos for "Seven", "Angels on a Razor" and "The One" together tell the story of a man who's executed by hanging, and has problems crossing over to the Afterlife. He possibly doesn't realize he's dead.
* DoubleEntendre: The first verse of "The Dolphin's Cry".
-->The way you're bathed in light reminds me of that night\\
God led me down into your rose garden of trust
* FanserviceWithASmile: {{ZigZagged|Trope}} in "Waitress":
--> Come on baby, leave some change behind\\
She was a bitch, but I don't care\\
She brought our food out on time\\
Wore a funky barrette in her hair
* ImportantHaircut: He shaved his head down to a single braid in between the videos for "Selling the Drama" and "I Alone". And aside from a head full of hair in 2001, he's been bald ever since.
* NamesTheSame: His song "Grace" is not a Music/JeffBuckley cover. Not to be confused with a Live song called "Graze".
* RealMenLoveJesus: Ed's pretty serious about his Christian faith. Incidentally, he's also got one of the pottiest mouths in Christian rock.
* PrecisionFStrike: "Stage", "Freaks", "Voodoo Lady", and "People Like You" all drop one or two pointed F-bombs, although in all but "Voodoo Lady", they're rather gratuitous and out-of-the-blue.
* {{Reincarnation}}: "Lightning Crashes" strongly implies that the 'old mother' who has just died has been reincarnated as the baby just born 'down the hall'.
* SlasherSmile: He does it in several videos, and he's got ''fangs'' in his lower jaw.
* SophisticatedAsHell
* WalkingShirtlessScene: In his younger years, he was very fond of either wearing open shirts or no shirt at all. He was on the scrawny side up until about 2003, when he suddenly had pecs and started shaving his chest.
