About Me: Born in Mt. Pleasant, PA on January 21, 1969, Eric Edwards grew up with a very strong musical childhood. His father, Norman, played bluegrass and traditional country music, while mother, Viola, loved Elvis Presley and the Oldies, and he and sister, Teresa, listened to the modern rock and country tunes of the times. Eric began his musical career at the age of 10 by performing and winning both Cub Scout Talent Shows he entered. On March 13, 1986, he took up drums and banded with family member Alex Smith and friend Shawn Pravlik at their High School Talent Shows, finishing 2nd in their category. Upon high school graduation, he began various studio recording projects and performed in different bands, including a 5-year run on drums with the country/rock band 'Win, Lose or Draw', playing bass guitar and vocals in the rock band 'Caution' (along with Alex Smith), and the short-lived modern rock bands 'D.K.S.M.' and 'Instryd', again on Bass.

Upon graduating from electronics and computer programming schools, Eric made the bold move to Nashville, TN on September 29, 1997, his mother's birthday. There, he befriended bassist/vocalist/lyricist Peter Bailey, and soon began a lucrative 4-year studio recording career as guitarist/vocalist in the Christian rock band '4N', resulting in 5 CD's of original Christian-based material. Sadly, this was also the same time he lost his mother to cancer on June 27, 2000...a devastating loss. Eric moved back to PA in 2002, albeit temporarily, where he played Bass guitar and vocals for rock band 'Just That', which included once again Alex Smith on guitar and vocals. With the band's demise, he moved back to Nashville for another run with '4N'. On December 14, 2003, he was baptized to the Lord Jesus Christ at the Greater Nashville Church, a personal decision he has never regretted.

After recording the last of the '4N' CD's, Eric began work on his own original material, though this was interrupted by a 1 1/2 year touring adventure of the Rocky Mountain club circuit as drummer/vocalist for country/rock bands 'Young Guns', '3rd World Party', and 'Whiskey Bay', with a 3-month stint as a house band in Casper, WY. Exhausted, Eric returned to Nashville in October 2006, where he took a well-deserved 6-month hiatus from music to focus on his personal life, and on January 7, 2007, he was restored to the Greater Nashville Church.

Now rejuvenated, Eric is releasing the '4N' material on his myspace page, as well as the newest CD release "BEST OF: 1999-2004", and has begun recordings for his first solo CD, and will be booking shows in 2008 in support of the CD.
