The album titled Tear Off These Chains is my newest and third album in the last 5 years. My last album on CD Baby was Fight No More Forever released last fall of 2015. My band consists of Paul Edwards on guitar, mandolin, vocals, and percussion. Ryan Edwards on lead guitar and some percussion. Marty Mojica on bass guitar . Janet Delgado is a guest vocalist on three songs on Tear Off These Chains the new album. I write songs about real life situations happening in our society today to get people to ponder and meditate in their minds about solutions. I emphasize an emotional style of singing with the music heavy on minor chords mixed smoothly with major chords . Strong influences on my music I write are artists such as : Neil Young, Tom Waits, J.J. Cale , and Golden Earring . I want to touch your emotions through my music. I hope you enjoy it and tear off your own personal chains that bind you up, relax , and enjoy some smooth yet energized tunes. Peace and love, Sincerely, Paul Edwards .
