Early Day Miners (which was shortened to EDM in 2011) are a band from southern Indiana, United States who released records on the Bloomington, Indiana based label Secretly Canadian. As of 2009, the band had released seven full-length records.
Early Day Miners started as a 'musical-cooperative' based in Bloomington, Indiana. The group formed when Daniel Burton and Rory Leitch (both of Ativin) began playing on front porches and basements with their mutual friend Joe Brumley. Early Day Miners incorporate a revolving cast of accompanying musicians (many of whom are friends) for both live shows and recordings. Their first CD Placer Found was released April 2000 on Western Vinyl.
