The latest entry in my store is a new CD of some older material, much of which will be new to everyone. In 1990, my old friends Henry Gross, Henry Paul and I got together, did lots of rehearsing by day and lots of recording by night. It's just three guys, three guitars, three voices and a touch of harp that resulted in some melodic magic. I hope you agree.

Jonathan and the band perform in Franklin, Mass., on Nov. 19, 2011
Hello to all of our "Friends Along The Line"! Winter, 2011/2012.
Wow! Impressive cold up here on the coast of Maine! Good for the soul though, I suppose. We just returned from a really beautiful "road trip" to Cumberland Island, GA for Thanksgiving and I'm STILL giving thanks. On the return trip we stopped in Nashville for a visit and I got to sit in with "The Time Jumpers" at The Station Inn. What an amazing musical treat to play with Vince Gill, Paul Franklin,and Jeff Taylor just to name a few. If you're EVER in Nashville on a Monday night, this is not a band you want to miss. The next night found us watching "The Players" (including Vince) at 3rd and Lindsley. Absolutely incredible! Vince Gill and the players - YouTube With Brent Mason, John Hobbs, and Michael Rhodes to name a few. We stopped in DC to lend our support and a few songs to "Occupy DC". Wow! those people are the front line of defense in our fight to once again be able to influence the direction our beloved country is taking thanks to the1% that presently hold the reigns. These non-violent soldiers deserve our unwavering respect and support. Governmental corruption is a world-wide phenomenon and our voices CAN be heard because "We are the 99%". Music is SO crucial to our freedom of speech and our enjoyment of life and I am so thankful for that. These are tumultuous times full of uncertainty and divergent, divisive points of view. It is my fervent hope that we can all come together and agree on the best course of action to once again become, through example, the nation that leads the way in innovation, inspiration, and conservation. Action and activism are both required by all of us as we move forward into 2012. Complacency will lead to more abuses of power and the continued sale of our government to the highest bidder. So do whatever you can to further the cause of humanity in this season of family and celebration. Peace and Solidarity to all of you within hearing distance. Thanks, as always, to all my friends and fans for supporting live, acoustic music wherever you are. Happy, productive, loving Holidays to all of you, and thanks again.

“I love playing rooms like this,” said Edwards about his show at Infinity Hall. “It’s like we’re playing in a big guitar … or a Steinway grand piano. It feels like we’re inside something like that and the music just vibrates and lives very much in a place like this.” ~ Read more

A Message from Jonathan:
Jonathan with daughters Grace and Brenda in concert January 15, 2010 Cinema Paradiso, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
"Huge thanks to Ellen Bukstel and Ellen Burton and the whole staff of Cinema Paradiso in Ft Lauderdale. It was a last minute dream come true to pull this show together with my L.A.based daughter, Brenda; and to get a chance to sit and learn some of Grace's songs and have her learn some of mine. And then for us, along with my long-time collaborator, Stuart Schulman, to present this show with Grace's band, "The Victory Riders," to our friends and fans and family in South Florida was such a joy beyond the telling."
