DW Edwards & Lighting Up The Soul Band

Bio:

DW Edwards   musician, singer, songwriter, recording artist

“Music is My Life” says DW Edwards, (aka Darrell Edwards).

Influenced by music icons such as Pop & Mavis Staples, Al Green, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, the Righteous Brothers, and Ray Charles, Darrell began performing in his church choir at the age of 9.  After school hours were spent practicing guitar and listening to popular music.  By his teenage years Darrell had assembled the Edwards Brothers Band to perform at local venues in and around Bakersfiled CA.

Now residing in the North Bay area, his musical talents have since grown to include his own powerful, rhythmic, funk beat that draws audiences to the dance floor.  His love of R&B, Funk, Jazz, Latin Jazz and Rock N Roll music comes to life with his band's melodic, captivve singing and stage presence.  Add to that Darrell’s perfect pitch you feel for yourself the infectious joy his band brings to the stage.

The entire band features:

Darrell (DW) Edwards, Keys/Vocals; 

Jay Jones, Bass/Vocals; 

Linda Livingston, Drums; 

Yolanda Gerald,  Percussions/Vocals;  

Igore Shevchenko, Keys/ Synthesizer;

DW Edwards has shared the stage with Bay Area greats such as,  Ron Moton (ConFunkShun),  Carlos Reyes, Pete & Rene Escovedo, Alvon Johnson, Ke' Marie (Rhythm Method 4), Tony Saunders & Vernon Black, Los Cochinos,(singer 2021) Band and more.....
