Notorious for spending countless hours
in the studio, only to set the master
tapes ablaze, Paul Edwards has finally
committed to releasing his first album.
The band: (STEVE CLIFFORD - Bass,
DAVE FENWICK - Guitar, WADE MANRICKS - Drums,
and PAUL EDWARDS - Vox, Guitars, misc.)
formed after his return from a year
stay in Sweden where Paul was host/engineer/
producer on International Radio at
Lund Radio. While in Sweden Paul grew more
interested in producing and recording as
he dabbled at the radio station and recorded
in a couple of studios around the city
(Paul Edwards "Lund Sessions" - out of print).
Now Montreal based, he spends his days
and nights recording and producing other
bands, both in studio (including Shot While Hunting, Dutch Oven, Jahpan, Lesley Lane, Patrick Krief, Trip The Off) and live in concert
(including Damian Marley, The Flaming Lips, Ben Harper, Starsailor, The Stills, The Dears, Priestess,
Inflight Safety, Joel Plaskett) for
Houdini Mobile Recordings .
Connected to the likes of Nick Drake,
Mark Lanegan, Grant Lee Buffalo, Travis,
Jeff Buckley, and David Gray, Paul's songs
are laced with intricate guitar playing and
smooth, solid vocals that will make the
hairs on the back on your neck stand at
attention.
Keep your eyes & ears fixed on Edwards in
2009, as he will be bring it to the Clubs
both on his own and with his band to their
promote the new album.
