Jonathan Edwards
anthemic Sunshine (Go Away Today), that fierce proclamation of protest and independence that resonated with thousands and thousands of frustrated and angry young men and women when it was first released in 1971. Almost 40 years later, at show after show, the song continues to be embraced by faithful followers and new fans alike.Since 1971, Jonathan has released 15 albums, including Blue Ridge, his standard-setting collaboration with bluegrass favorites the Seldom Scene, and Little Hands, his collection of childrens songs, which was honored with a National Library Association award.As for album #16, Jonathan says, Young people that are getting back to the land and trying to get off the power grid encourage me. My next studio album will reflect some of those themes. With that in mind, its no surprise that he closes each nights show with these heartfelt lyrics:Calling all dreamers and optimistic foolsDont let go of your dream, make it now, make it all come trueIf you believe in a brighter dayI know we can find our wayTo this island, in a starry oceanPoetry in motion, this island earthA beautiful oasis for all human racesThe only home that we know, this island earth.
