In some shows keyboards and accordion are also added. They usually sizzle through a mix of blues, folk, country, bluegrass, Celtic, gospel and jazz, mixing original material with the best from others. They have 3 CDs out (two studio and one live) and last year stormed the main stage at Strawberry (voted the best new band and Travis the best new vocalist). This year they have several US and Canadian festivals lined up. www.houstonjones.com |

Don
Edwards |
|
|
The summer of 1997 found Don in Livingston, Montana portraying the role of "Smokey" in Robert Redford's film The Horse Whisperer . In addition to this acting/singing role, Don is featured on the MCA soundtrack. In May of 1998, to coincide with The Horse Whisper theater release, Warner Western compiled and released "The Best of Don Edwards" while Western Jubilee offered Don's newest recording "My Hero Gene Autry" recorded live at Mr. Autry's 90th birthday. The richness of Don's voice coupled with his magical stage presentation makes Don Edwards America's number one western singer and concert attraction. The accolades though, have been simply added bonuses for Edwards, who sings what he does out of love and respect for the genre. Don's career continues to blossom, and luckily for all who care about it, he has because of his sincere approach, added much to the literature and music of the West, passing on to the rest of us a legacy rich for his efforts. www.donedwardsmusic.com |
