Few artists have committed to the ethic of apocalyptic – even gothic – Americana as completely as Colorado’s David Eugene Edwards. From his early work with The Denver Gentlemen and 16 Horsepower to the last two decades of material he has offered via Wovenhand, Edwards practically haunts every stage, and album, with spirits that are simultaneously spectral and Biblical. On this episode of the True Tunes Podcast, John J. Thompson sits down with Edwards in front of a live audience at the Audiofeed Festival in Champaign, Illinois to talk about his origins, his musical concepts, and his mystical perspectives on everything from the nature of art and humanity to the essence of spirituality and redemption.

The new Wovenhand music video for '8 of 9'. The 4:29 minutes long song is taken from the current album "Silver Sash", which was released Feb 4 via Glitterhouse Records.
The new album is the first Wovenhand opus completely written in cooperation with Chuck French, who is also known as a guitarist for aggressive Emocore outfit Planes Mistaken For Stars. Both know each other for ages.
"Light some candles, light up a fat spliff, and prepare to get weird" says Chuck about '8 of 9'.
9 new songs in total were recorded that despite their power and heavyness have lost nothing of its magic and hypnotics Powerful, subtile and intensly deep. Uniting the calm and mystic side of the early Wovenhand years with the straight forward yet still magic songs of his latest albums.
Over the last two decades, his prolific work in both Wovenhand and the legendary 16 Horsepower has influenced and inspired a generation of musicians throughout the expansive alternative music world. The band cannot be described in traditional terms. Their sound is an organic weavework of neo-folk, post rock, punk, old-time, and alternative sounds. All coming together as a vehicle for David's soulful expression and constant spiritual self exploration. Sometimes sad and sorrowed and at other times uplifting, Wovenhand are always unforgettable in spirit and sound.
WOVENHAND will be back to Fire in the Mountains festival in a unique and intimate form - as David Eugene Edwards he will be performing a solo set in July.
David Eugene Edwards will replace Emma Ruth Rundle who will be in Europe for her postponed tour.
