EDGELL BROTHERS BAND acoustic trio (cover band)
The EDGELL BROTHERS BAND is an acoustic trio consisting of acoustic guitar, congas/percussion & harmony vocals. They perform mostly in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh PA at upscale restaurants / bars & dozens of private and corporate events each year. Thier sets are a mixture of 70's, 80's, 90's era acoustic hits & todays current artists. Their unique sound is the perfect alternative to hiring a "full band". Doug Edgell's guitar playing and use of "looping technology" will have you looking for the other guitarist. Vocalist Scot Edgell has the ability to mimic some of the greatest rock singers, while still maintaining his own identity. And Kelly Bell's conga / percussion set-up is definately one of a kind. His energy and grooves have everyone tapping along before the night is through.

DOUG EDGELL'S ORIGINAL MUSIC CD - GHOST INSIDE MY MEMORY
Doug Edgell's 13-track record, "Ghosts Inside My Memory", is a pop/rock collection that showcases Edgell's approachable vocal and a sweeping/modern AC production value from Don Maue. The title track pushes Edgell's falsetto at the top of the chorus with flavors that remind us of Richard Marx and Daniel Powter. One of the highlights of the record is "Block out the Sun" - the acoustic intro and harmonic progressive choices have a Beatles tinge, but moves into something a bit more modern and contemplative. There's a sad yet hopeful vibe that works well for the range Edgell shows in both his writing and vocals. The supportive strings are dramatic and emotional as he sings, 'love can be hard, it can get you down, don't let it spoil your fun. .don't let it block out the sun'. We hear influences from America's "tin man" to Steve Miller's "joker" in other tracks, rounding out the overall singer/songwriter pop sound that grew out of the 70's. Even so, the clear and clean modern production takes those influences and fine songwriting ability and brings them current. Edgell hits another fine note in "10,000 Angels", as we find him again in the form of 'sun' - acoustic guitar introduces his vocal bare and vulnerable which is where his strength resides. "For You" is another gem on the record and the dramatic production, again, is AC radio-ready. Edgell leaves us with the medium grooved, "Fool 4 Life", a tribute to living life as perfectly as possible - without cynicism and 'with my spirit free. 'a fool 4 life'. The optimistic and overall sweetness of the CD reveals the artist as he confirms his contentment with being that fool until he's done - leaving behind kind and thoughtful music. Well done.

Although he earned a degree in classical guitar performance, Doug Edgell has chosen the path of singer-songwriter for his latest offering "Ghost Inside My Memory". Listening to Doug's songs is like meeting up with an old friend. There's a familiarity and comfortable feeling about them. His music is inspired and engaging, infused with genuine life experiences and observations, reflecting a journey of exploration and soul searching.
The music on "Ghost Inside My Memory" ranges from the hard driving "Another Day" with a retro 60's organ, to the hauntingly beautiful "Block out the Sun" with acoustic guitar and a string quartet. Layered textures of intricate guitars and piano, alluring lyrics and memorable melodies, his honest and accessible songs are both intimate and universally appealing.
