Denver — Swallow Hill is pleased to welcome Jonathan Edwards to the Daniels Hall stage on Saturday, November 17 at 8 p.m. Martha's Vineyard Times says of Edwards, "He is such an energetic presence, such a bundle of heightened personality...a consummate solo performer."

Edwards' 1971 million-selling song "Sunshine" brought him instant fame, and can be heard in the 2004 Will Ferrell movie, "Anchorman," as well as on its soundtrack. Born in Minnesota, he detoured into blues and rock before realizing he was hooked on folk music. During his 36-year career he has recorded 15 albums, performed throughout North America and in Holland, and collaborated with artists such as Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Buffett, Maura O'Connell, Christine Lavin, and Cheryl Wheeler. His 1987 children's album, Little Hands, was selected by the National Library Association as a Notable Children's Recording.

His varied career has included theater, commercials, record production and two movie soundtracks. He narrated and performed in the Media Artists series, "Cruising America's Waterways," which started airing on PBS-TV stations in 2001. His most recent CD, Live in Massachusetts, was released in December of 2006, and Media Artists just released a 90-minute documentary of his career titled, "That's What Our Life Is." Currently Edwards is writing the soundtrack for "Chatham," a major motion picture scheduled for release in 2008 in which he also has a small role as a reformist preacher.
