   About Chris Edwards
Create your own banner at MyBannerMaker.com!
Based in East Texas, singer/songwriter Chris Edwards has honed his musical vision into one that blends the old-timey folk and string band country music that his grandparents played for him as a child with liberal doses of elements out of the rock 'n' roll textbook. Love, life and loss are touchstone subjects in his lyrics, and coupled with his catchy melodies and ragged-but-right vocals, the songs become characters themselves. Through many of Edwards' lyrics, the portrait of a sensitive man ill-equipped to deal with many of life's changes comes through clearly. Having been around, and seen life from a multitude of angles, Edwards' musical endeavors have included playing everything from noisy garage band-grade punk to jazz and a few years that he refers to as "bumming around, playing tuneless, elementary rant-punk-folk stuff." His solo (in the truest sense of the word) album "Long Hard Ride" blends many of the musical influences he holds dear. It is available, currently, from digital retailers around the world and in hard copy form in select Texas music outlets (and from Edwards himself...for a mere pittance or a few rounds of cold gold). For booking inquiries: e-mail cedwardsmusic@yahoo.com . Download "Long Hard Ride": Chris Edwards - Long Hard Ride

Sounds good man. Folk on is a good term, I'm stealing that.

Thanks for spreading the word, too. It needs to be done. Quite necessary.
