Kathleen Edwards

For decades, Kathleen Edwards has been a cornerstone of North American roots music. Since making her debut with 2002’s Failer, she’s spent the 21st Century occupying the grey area between genres, swirling together her own mix of alt-country, folk and heartland rock and roll. It’s a sound that has earned its creator more than a half-dozen JUNO nominations, as well as Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. 

Celebrated as one of the forebears of modern alt-country and Americana music, Edwards is beloved by fans and fellow musicians and praised by The New York Times for her “droll, observant and unsparing tone that is all her own. In her best lines, Edwards has the conversational vernacular and emotional eloquence of a great short-story writer.”

Edwards’ latest album Billionaire, produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson, is full of her trademark lyrical sharpness and unflinching observations.
