The JD Edwards Band is sometimes a five-piece electric folk-rock experience and other times it is a laid back acoustic group that is quickly becoming a staple in the Canadian music scene. The band’s sound is a synthesis of Blind Melon’s funk and The Black Crowes’ blues, while JD sings with the stoned sexiness of Dave Matthews and the wild outbursts of Ben Harper. Growing up in the suburbs of Oshawa, Ontario, JD began to write and perform his own material and later moved to Kingston

The JD Edwards Band is sometimes a five-piece electric folk-rock experience and other times it is a laid back acoustic group that is quickly becoming a staple in the Canadian music scene. The band’s sound is a synthesis of Blind Melon’s funk and The Black Crowes’ blues, while JD sings with the stoned sexiness of Dave Matthews and the wild outbursts of Ben Harper. Growing up in the suburbs of Oshawa, Ontario, JD began to write and perform his own material and later moved to Kingston, where he studied music and eventually left for Toronto in 2000. In 2005, JD was asked to come to Winnipeg and stumbled on to the Winnipeg music scene, the great venues in which to play, and the rest of his band: Jesse Ives on Bass, John Kirouac on Saxophone, Flute & Percussion, and Troy Strattner on drums.
