Kathleen Edwards is a modern-day cornerstone of North American roots music. Since making her debut with 2002's Failer, she's spent the 21st century occupying the grey area between genres, swirling together her own mix of alt-country, folk, and heartland rock & roll. It's a sound that has earned its creator more a half-dozen Juno nominations, shows with icons like Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, and Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. From co-writes with Maren Morris to critically-acclaimed solo records like Back to Me, Asking for Flowers, Voyageur, and Total Freedom, Edwards has become a leader of the Americana community, even as her ever-evolving music reaches beyond the format's boundaries.
