David Edwards
David has recently released his debut album, "Tipping Pictures." His music blends blues, folk, rock and jazz and comes out in the mix with a wonderful pop accessibility. Many have said that he has a style reminiscent of Sting -- the influences are diverse, but the album as a whole paints a cool musical picture. His music is a hip, refreshing departure from the typical Utah sound. Here's LDS music that you can play on the beach or blare out your car windows. That you can share with anybody. Here's music that will have you listening again and again because each song is refreshingly different. He tours with his 7-member band, which includes bass, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, keyboards, and backup vocals. People describe the band as funny sends chills down my spine, exciting, highly listenable.

David was classically trained on the cello, but has always had his heart in contemporary pop, rock and folk music. This strange combination of influences has produced a musician with an ear for the tight pop chord progression and the irresistable hook, while underneath brews some remarkably deep, multi-layered music.
