Angela Edge

Angela Edge has been creating music for most of her life. Her eccentric musical journey started when her preacher father put a bass in her hands at the age of 14. She was so enamored with it that she couldn’t put the instrument down. Teaching herself to play on the stage of her hometown Pentecostal church, she learned by watching and listening to other bass players. She molded her own concept of bass, melody, and harmony style. With that, the Angela Edge’s bass technique was born. Already a trumpet player since the age of 12, she then earned a full scholarship to the University of Arkansas majoring in music education for trumpet.
Once in college, she began playing locally around Fayetteville, AR with a few local bands. Playing in coffee shops and local events were soon not enough for Angela, who was ready to tour internationally.
While playing bass for a Fayetteville folk band, Edge was contracted to join up with another artist for a 5 week tour to play nationally. This afforded Angela the opportunity to play on the same stages as Chris Williamson, Peter Yarrow, Melissa Ferrick, and others. Angela also played at festivals that included Les Claypool, Michael Franti, and Alex Olson. She has played at Washington DC PRIDE, High Sierra Music Festival, The Folk Alliance in Montreal, Kerville Folk Festival, and San Fransisco Pride. Edge has also played at The Blue Bird in Nashville and The Bitter End in NYC. Thus, her music has evolved over the years from the days of playing in coffee shops and local venues. Angela Edge has found her own unique voice with potent lyrics and sweet melodies , creating music that even the most studied poet would love to analyze.
