Edward Dee is another of the new generation of performing songwriters reaching out to you in a direct and multi-musical way. Building upon his musical and songwriting influences of Sting, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and Jimmy Buffet, Edward Dee blends that familiar melody line and simple yet infectious repetition of rhythm that these other artists known for with his undeviating vocal style that is clear and inviting. Edward Dee is a recognized recording artist in the San Francisco Bay area. He is also a seasoned session guitarist with many credits under his belt. There is a fullness to his life that also includes being a teacher, an organic farmer and the coordinator of a volunteer organization. His music reflects this fullness and the journey of a life unfolding…a life that is rich and rewarding…a life that is possible for each and every one of us. That Side of the Street His latest CD, That Side of the Street, highlights his creative blend of world-influenced Pop and A3 styles. It is an inviting, upbeat collection (journey) into inspiration and creativity. The subject is all about relationships… with that special someone, in relationship with life, in relationship with yourself. It is an exploration of the spiritual essence of being human. Questions of life are played with in a rhythmic and melodic inventiveness that is original, bright and full of sensory fulfillment. This one will stay with you… Julia Harrell joins Edward once more with her masterful work on marimba and percussion. Garth Webber is a great welcome addition to this project as is John Lee Sanders and Edward’s daughter, Stacey Dee (a recording artist in her own right) singing back-up on two cuts. Recorded at Red Rooster Studios in Berkeley, California for New Bridge Records and mastered at Capitol Records Hollywood by Mark Chalecki, this project is a production of superb quality. Choices – Songs of Edward Dee Edward Dee’s first CD, Choices – Songs of Edward Dee, is a collection of love songs and a quest for deeper understanding of one's place in the grander scheme of things. "Choices" is a perfect title for a CD which asks you to ponder and explore what really matters in this life we’ve been given. What can we do to make this world of ours a better place? How might we be during a time of personal loss? What will it take for us to pause, be present in the moment and recognize what the universe is working to awaken in us? Edward Dee’s music has much to give. His songs are about Life. His message is for You.
