John Edge
John Edge does not shy away from life’s biggest topics, and provides songs about love, truth, death, and the miraculous fragility of life. The Scottish singer-songwriter sits within the folk genre, with previous releases having lent comparisons to the likes of Ben Howard, Foy Vance, and Glen Hansard. He has been praised by the likes of CLASH, Billboard, music is my radar, with airtime on stations such as BBC Rapal, and Amazing Radio with Jim Gelgatty. Edge’s live performances carry an abundance of raw vulnerability, melodious songs, huge dynamics, and is all fused together and driven by his enchanting lyrics and totality on stage.
Edge has an inherent spirituality to his work, and his sophomore album, due for release this year, is an exploration of the longing to find meaning in the confusion of life. With songs both dreamy and epic, meditative and yet emotional, Edge delivers a marked return with newfound depth and maturity to his writing; following on from his debut album release ‘Only Fear Dies’ (2020). His new work is the result of a young man’s life being thrown into disarray, and out of that a deeper appreciation of life’s mysteries arose.
Edge mixes mystic themes with good old fashioned heartbreak, reminding us that there is mystery in the ordinary.
CLASH – “Edge is a supple, entrancing songwriter. An artist of real power… Easy on the ear yet intensely emotional”.
