For singer/songwriter/guitarist AJ Edwards, music has always offered a certain 'pull...'
"I think I've had this subconscious desire to play music for awhile," comments AJ, "but it all really began to surface when I first saw U2 perform
in Boston in 2001. I began teaching myself guitar a couple days after."
The Boston born/based artist soon began to realize his passion for songwriting and spent many late nights building a balanced set
of original songs and covers.
"For awhile I really just wanted to get out there and play, but at the same time I felt that I needed something original to work into my act first," says AJ.
Eventually, AJ grabbed his acoustic guitar and booked a few dates at
local bars and college campuses, which resulted from his earliest steps on
stage at numerous open-mics. Since then, he has collaborated with some highly respected artists in the local music scene including legendary studio drummer, John Dorizzi, and engineers, Dave Lefkowitz (Johnny A) and Jay Frigoletto (Alice In Chains, Oasis, Ani DiFranco) on his self-produced, debut full-band album, "Start Over the Moon." The record was released October 2009.
The ten-song collection casts AJ's brave voice as the lead in a dynamic environment inspired by themes like: love, hope, and hopelessness.
"This is a personal album. I wanted [the album] to feel a bit like a confession without raising my voice," says AJ.
"Start Over the Moon," the latest offering from AJ Edwards is available on iTunes. For more information, please visit: www.ajedwardsmusic.com.
