Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on October 22, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Ed Droste! May your day be as harmonious and delightfully indie as a Grizzly Bear melody. From crafting mesmerizing tunes like "Two Weeks" to captivating audiences worldwide with your soulful voice and skillful guitar riffs, you've truly made the indie-rock scene richer—and way cooler.

Here's hoping this year brings you endless inspiration for more unforgettable songs, plenty of keyboards to experiment on, and perhaps fewer bears (unless they're musical ones). Keep rocking Brooklyn-style; we can't wait to hear what brilliant melodies you'll create next. Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—stay awesome, Ed!
