1) John Edwards (born 25 December 1944 in St. Louis, Missouri, United States) was an American soul singer. Once an extremely popular regional attraction, Edwards moved from the local circuit to the big time when he joined the Detroit Spinners. Edwards joined the Spinners full-time in 1977 and remained with them until 2000 when he suffered a debilitating stroke and was forced to retire.
2) Bass player: After taking up the bass, around 1987, John Edwards co-formed The Pointy Birds who went on to win awards for their music for The Cholmondeleys and Featherstonehaughs dance troupes. The group appeared at festivals in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Moers, Leverkusen, Copenhagen. Around 1990, Edwards played his first gigs with London improvisers such as Roger Turner, Lol Coxhill, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton.
Between 1990 and 1995 Edwards was a member of three touring groups simultaneously: B-Shops For The Poor, The Honkies and GOD. During this period he also became an increasingly regular player on the London improvised music scene and performed his first solo gigs; he composed and performed music theatre with the bass and cello duo The Great Explorers, street-busked a lot and appeared at many more festivals in Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Czech, etc.
Since 1995 John Edwards has become a "mainstay" of the London scene, playing with just about everybody, an activity that has seen him clocking up between 150 and 200 gigs a year. He has become regular player with Evan Parker, in many groupings, and with Tony Bevan, Veryan Weston, and Elton Dean, often in collaboration with Mark Sanders on percussion. He has become a more frequent player on the European (and festival) scene, appearing at Taktlos, Ulrichsburg, Nickelsdorf, Budapest, New Zealand and in the USA. He continues to work on solo performances.
The first solo CD by John Edwards, named Volume, was published this year by Evan Parker's label PSI.
3) John Edwards (born 9 May 1953) is an English bass guitarist, playing in the rock group Status Quo. See Rhino Edwards.
