Nicole Edwards JUST released a new CD called Sparkin. This is her first JAZZ album and includes 10 standards and two originals. Watch for it.
“Edwards’ voice croons over these tunes with a supple purr. Her voice enunciates the flavour of each song, bringing the listener into the world of each song to expert effect…… Edwards’ voice is unique in the music of the Yukon. She is a real singer of songs, which is to say she not only sings the words, she expresses them. Her voice is supple in the lower register and able to reach the heights of a soprano at will. This ability serves these songs well, allowing Edwards to call these songs her own by virtue of her vocal skill.“--Bill Polonsky, What’s Up Yukon
“Warm, rich, playful and wonderfully animated in Edwards’ expressive, clear voice, Sparkin’ is sure to please Edwards’ fans, jazz listeners and music lovers alike.”--Keely Grasser, Almaguin Forestser, Ontario
"Her lyrics are full of freshness and emotion. A springtime energy that leads us right from the first song into the magical universe of Nicole Edwards. This album (on with my day) is her, in all her beauty and simplicity."--Marie-Helene Comeau, L'Aurore Boreal, Whitehorse
"Joy Seeker is a work of fearsome love and exquisite pain. Nicole Edwards' songs are an open book to her heart – deeply moving and personal words of struggle and adoration. Her blues are a glow of sunshine peeking through the sadness of a rainy day. Graceful, candid, rock n roll beauty, oh so bittersweet."--David Prodan, Producer, Frostbite Music Festival
Nicole started singing on Broadway, a dirt road outside the village of South River in the near north of Ontario, Canada, where she grew up. Now most of her songs are created on her homestead in the Hamlet of Mt Lorne in the Yukon Territory.
With the release of her CD ‘on with my day’, Nicole Edwards solidified her reputation as the Yukon’s resident folk-rock diva. Her normally soft-spoken demeanor vanishes when she hoists her guitar and transmits her own brand of infectious blues-folk-rock, heavy grooves and emotionally charged lyrics. This album earned her a nomination to the West Coast Music Awards where she performed at the gala ceremonies along with Bif Naked and 54 40. Dirty Linen magazine calls Nicole an expressive singer. Fluent in both English and French, she transcends the borders of language and produces a musical gift. Nicole has been seen mesmerizing crowds with just her acoustic guitar, and has had hundreds of people shakin’ on the dance floor during plugged-in sets. In either situation, Nicole gives so much of her shine to her audience.
Nicole’s life changed dramatically with the onset of an auto-immune disease called scleroderma. (See www.scleroderma.ca for more info.) Nicole took a two-year break from music because of the progression of the scleroderma. Even though managing her health has become full-time work, Nicole paced herself in the recording studio so that she could continue to be creative and share her music with others. The result: “Joy Seeker” speaks of dealing with illness and of love. Despite her current battle with a debilitating and chronic illness, Nicole's artistry and passion for life charge through this CD with a vigor that makes you fall in love with her music all over again. This recording has been called inspiring:
“You are an inspiration.....your lyrics are so meaningful...you are living them from the inside out.”--Irene Woods, Penticton, BC, living with Multiple Sclerosis
“Went to my friend's wake last night and another (scleroderma) support group member rode with me. I played the first two cuts from Joy Seeker for her while we drove. There's something about those two songs that hits home every time.”--Kevin Ramplin, Papillion, Nebraska, living with Scleroderma.
