On the verge of his fifth decade in the music industry, folk star JoNathan Edwards returns to The Barns. This musical mastermind singer and songwriter is perhaps best known for his smash hits "Sunshine" and "Shanty." The Washington Post declared, "Edwards' voice is so naturally malleable that all he really needs is a song with a strong melodic hook and he's home free." It was during his childhood in Virginia when he learned to play guitar and compose his first songs. Edwards got his start as a singer, opening for big names such as the Allman Brothers and B.B. King before he signed with Capricorn Records and released his self-titled debut in 1971. Friend Emmylou Harris recruited him to sing backup on her sophomore record Elite Hotel (1976), resulting in a new record deal for Edwards, which ultimately led to a collection of inspiring albums. His latest album Rollin' Along: Live in Holland was recorded over several nights throughout a stint in Holland. Jonathan dubbed it "a collection I am most proud of."
