It all started a couple years ago. It was a bit strange to start getting airplay before I'd ever performed in front of an audience. Sure it was a little weird hearing my songs on the radio while I was still in the studio recording my EP. Yeah, it was quite surprising to know that the songs I was recording just for the sake of having a record of my own music were out there reaching others.

Still... we appreciate what falls in our lap.

Since that crazy year we've played all sorts of great shows.

As of today, the second CD is half finished and features no less than 4 drummers.

Somehow I ended up playing bass on Sweet Misery... something to do with a last minute change and a 5 string.

We've gone through a few drummers, but we think Doug will stick around!

He's also a paramedic. I met Doug for the first time AFTER I had already recorded "Sweet Misery".

So what? Oh... Sweet Misery features a line about a paramedic rushing to the - nevermind... wait for the track to be released.

We like Ibanez.

Our first drummer is now a guitar player and sings in a punkish band. It's not as bad as when you find out your ex came out of the closet after they dumped you though.

Jonathan plays bass. He's like a musician magnet. I think he gets propositioned by bands at every show we play. Most times they actually want him to play bass.

We found our drummer on Craigs List of all things. I can't remember how much we got paid by his last band.

Mickael is the singer guy and guitar player. Someone recently told him he rocks it old school. He hasn't quite recovered from that yet.

Jonathan likes film, video game music, and Sleeps with Matches.

Doug likes Jägermeister, his new tattoos and Tool.

Mike likes science, family, and a little ecclecticism.

Sure there's more, but you'll have to give Jonathan a hug at the next show... he'll tell you more at that time.

We're changing the band name. We will tell everyone what it is at the next show.

stay tuned.....

Autobiography of an Unsigned Artist
David Anderson and How Twilight's Edge Began

David played his first guitar at age 20. It was an acoustic that basically introduced him to chords and notes on the fret board. Then it was shortly after that, he purchased his first real electric guitar, a Fender Stratocaster. A couple of years later, a Les Paul custom and to add the icing on the cake, a hand made Boogie Amp manufactured by Mesa Engineering around 1982.

Since he began playing, David was in and out of garage bands, always maintaining the Rock Genre. With the discovery of Michael Schenker, his dream was to play like Michael, but was just not capable of shredding, so instead, he created his own style of playing that has become his signature sound. In the beginning, lots of negativity came his way, but that didn't stop him pursuing the guitar.

His style seemed to become more refined as time went along. Emotion seemed to become more prevalent in his playing. His guitar playing has achieved a level of certain viturosity and giving him the ability to venture out as a solo artist with songs that are beautifully layered track on top of track with different guitar sounds all in synchronization with each other. Thus Twilight's Edge has been created.

Twilight's Edge is a musical entity that explores new areas of Rock/Metal. It is an alternative to commercial Rock & Metal music and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the core of Twilight's Edge is Artist, Recording Engineer, Producer and Manufacturer, David Anderson. David's playing is a translation of 70's and 80's Rock guitarists and culminated into a distinctive style that truly is his own. As you listen to David's playing, you just might catch glimpses of Leslie West (Mountain), Ronnie Montrose (Hagar), Paul Kossoff (Free), Brian May (Queen) or even Buck Dharma (Blue Oyster Cult) and many other rock Legends of the 70's and early 80's.

On the other side of Twilight's Edge is Nick Anderson, a young guitarist usually found in the Thrash/Death Metal realm. Nick took time out of his busy schedule to contribute a very tasty piece of Metal with an eerie instrumental that will surely catch your attention.

Around 1988, David bought some studio gear and began experimenting around with recording. Learning what the equipment was capable of and stretching it to the limits. After a few short months, things came to a halt and the equipment sat for about 15 years.

Then during the winter of 2003 David had an inspiration in music and was able to capture
some very tasty Rock/Metal sounds. In about 8 consecutive weekends, David came up with enough material to cover 2 CD's. 8 of those songs ended up on the Simply Guitar album. The rest will end up on either the 2nd or 3rd CD's.

And so began a 3 year journey into the creation of a very unique and quite different CD titled Simply Guitar.

It was through the Simply Guitar journey that provided the experience needed to self produce and self manufacture a CD. This all provides a basis for future projects that may also involve other musicians and/or artists.

David has produced a CD that is unique and different than any other of its kind. Only the electric guitar is used to produce the basic beat, a passion and a melodic drive that the end result is nothing less than music with a life of its own.

David Anderson has proven that he has the ability to go solo on a CD project without the assistance from any production group or groups to get the job done. This then becomes a labor of love for the craft as well as the music produced by that craft.

This phase of the journey is now over and has morphed into a more complex Twilight's Edge, a more mature artist has emerged.

Cheers and Best Regards,
David Anderson
Twilight's Edge & d.e.a. music

Let me introduce myself, I am David Anderson, Ex-Twilight's Edge fame.

I am now taking on a whole new direction. Instead of layered guitar orchestrations, I now am embarking on a different journey for myself. I decided to go this route because an acoustic guitar is so easy, just pick it up and play. An electric guitar, you have all sorts of things to deal with. An acoustic allows me to deal with songwriting without all the complications as you get with an electric, like tone, bad cable, blown tube and the list just goes on. The part I like about an acoustic is that it keeps my songwriting simple.

My first song to post here will be 'Lost Souls' or maybe I might change the title to 'Old Soul', haven't decided. Life has a dark side to it and that is what this song deals with. The song probably won't mean much to you if you have everything going for you. But if your homeless, have lost everything or maybe terminal illness, there just may be a connection. Then again maybe not. You'll have to check it out when I release it and let me know what you think.

I have never professed being a great singer. So don't look for an awesome crooner here.

The songs here will be in raw form for both lyric and music. Remember, it's the content that counts in songwriting.

Stay tuned for more......................
David

The Tale of Oneyedjack...
Since 2004, the band has been steadily mining cold gold and pleasuring the Vancouver music scene with their blend of Blunk (blues n' punk). January 2005 marked the release of their debut album "YARRR!" on Cardeo Records which was well received by Canadian College Radio Stations. The Jacks followed up their debut release with a tour of Western Canada which included stops at Warped Tour in Vancouver & Calgary. In the past, Oneyedjacks have also shared the stage with touring acts like The Horrorpops & Crowned King.

Fast forward to 2007, the Jacks have added and lost an accordion player, played several shows around BC and added a Blues Harp into the works. The band has also finished recording a bunch of ne

One Brave Soul is:

kip - vox/guitars
lex - bass
kenny - drums

I try to put something into each song that will disarm the listener in some way... to evoke certain feelings or thoughts.... or even colors in some cases. I think in some of our songs you could be looking at the bare shell of the music and thinking, well this isn't much... but lyrically the song is making you wonder, or soothes you, or is troubling you. Or maybe the lyrics seem like candy but something musical seems to be poking you in the eye. Duality of meaning is common in One Brave Soul songs. You could very easily write out several different meanings to each song and all of them would be right. But overall, I hope people get a good vibe from our songs. We are not a negative band by any stretch of the imagination. I am just a huge fan of art that seems incredibly odd... yet somehow in the end leaves you happy and satisfied. Like a Robert Smith song or a Tim Burton movie.

•  Fun song

If you have been waiting for a sound that is innovative and eclectic (it’s soulful… it's jazzy...it's bluesy...it’s funky…), yet savvy enough to ride the waves of popular radio, look no further. This is a dynamic artist in touch with modern culture and carrying a message that is impacting those who encounter it.

The soulful sound of singer/songwriter/musician Greg Sczebel (“suh-bell”) is steadily capturing the attention of a wide range of music enthusiasts. From the moment you first hear the rhythms of his piano you will be intrigued. His talent is obvious...but then the vocals glide onto the scene and you see that there is more to this artist than just a good beat. His lyrics are intelligent, showing a mature depth, and he doesn’t sacrifice the musicality for catchy hooks. Greg is passionately committed to making good music.

And it's obvious others are catching on. He has been recognized for his outstanding talent as an artist, having been honored with many remarkable opportunities and awards. He has shared the stage with a variety of the entertainment industries’ top performers, including Grammy Award-Winning Producer, David Foster, jazz crooner, Michael Bublé, 6–time Juno Award Winner, Colin James - as well as Casting Crowns, Jars of Clay, Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer), Bebo Norman, Carolyn Arends, Out of Eden, Shawn McDonald and more.

The end of 2004 brought Sczebel a Canadian Urban Music Award nomination, four CGMA (Covenant Award) nominations, and ultimately two CGMA awards (‘Male Vocalist of the Year’ and ‘Rap/Hip-Hop/Dance Song of the Year’), as well as an Okanagan Musician Award for ‘Gospel Artist of the Year’ for the second year in a row.

In 2005 Sczebel continued to gain momentum by picking up a JUNO AWARD (Canada’s Grammy©) for his debut album “Here to Stay” in the category of ‘Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year.’ Shortly after, Sczebel was nominated for a grand total of five Shai (“shay”) Awards (Canada’s Gospel Music People’s Choice Awards) – ultimately taking home 3 of these - ‘Pop/Contemporary Album,’ ‘Urban/Soul Album’ and ‘Song of the Year’ for his single “In the Pocket”. In addition, Sczebel was a grand prize–winner in the international 2004 John Lennon Songwriting Competition, for his title track, “Here to Stay” and more recently was a finalist in the R & B category for the 2005 John Lennon Songwriting Competition for his song “You’ve Got It”.

At the close of 2005 Greg was also privileged to sign exclusive endorsement deals with both Audix Microphones and Yamaha USA Pianos & Keyboards.

And this is just the beginning of what is quickly becoming a well-established music career. But in spite of the acclaim, Sczebel still finds the most value in the personal connection between music fans and his songs. "To be validated by the awards and opportunities is always encouraging. The most exciting thing though, is hearing that my music is connecting with people. If I can continue creating music that impacts those who listen to it, I'd love to still be doing this 40 years from now." If the present is any indication to the future, Greg Sczebel is well on his way to reaching his goal.

QUOTES:

PAUL BRANDT, AWARD WINNING COUNTRY RECORDING ARTIST
"Greg Sczebel is just one of those artists with "It". He's got that X-factor, that undefinable thing that you need to be a successful in this business. It's undeniable that God has gifted him with an incredible talent to communicate to people's hearts and minds through music. I'm glad I got to know him before the rest of the world discovers him, because someday I'll be able to brag about how I knew him before he became a superstar."

KEVIN EDELMAN, MUSIC SUPERVISOR - METALMAN MEDIA INC.
"Greg is an incredible talent. One of the best young artists I’ve heard. His style and voice are unique and inspiring."

CAROLYN ARENDS, DOVE AND SHAI AWARD WINNING SINGER/SONGWRITER
"Greg Sczebel floors me. He sings with "soul" in every sense of the word. He writes insanely hooky, deeply moving songs about important things. It’s tempting to use phrases like "Next Big Thing", but Greg Sczebel isn’t the next anything. He’s now, and his music is truly great."

DIONNE SMITH, PRESIDENT, VIBE GOSPEL MUSIC
"I do not hesitate in the least to suggest that Greg Sczebel, will not only be one of Canada’s future leading gospel artists, but that his impact will go far beyond our borders."

HEATHER CLARK, HEATHERCLARKBAND

JAYLENE JOHNSON, SINGER / SONGWRITER
"When Greg Sczebel plays, joy electric runs through the crowd. Here is someone who not only inspires with a fresh lyrical approach in his songwriting, but who can also deliver the goods vocally and instrumentally. Most engaging, however, is his unassuming and humble posture...here is one to watch and watch closely, because he is going to fly..."
