With an early cosign from one of his biggest inspirations, Charlie Parr, young Jon Edwards has been taking his devotion to blues stylings and applying them to his own songwriting. He’s been taking his one-man show to as many stages as he can while working behind the scenes to raise money for causes he believes in, spearheading fundraisers at house parties and venues like Sacred Heart Music Center. Edwards has immersed himself in the Duluth music scene he has admired since attending his first-ever concert in Leif Erikson Park, where he saw Parr, Retribution Gospel Choir, The Boomchucks and more. Edwards will be playing songs on his 12-string and resonator guitars at Homegrown, and likely selling handmade CDs.
