Woven Hand

Fans and critics who know David Eugene Edwards are perpetually fascinated with the way he handles the delicate, sometimes impossibly fragile, balance that sits at the heart of his music. Edwards, Woven Hand is an evangelical Christian. His music draws sustenance from the fire and brimstone Christianity that America's heartland embraces. This faith relates to spiritual struggle, prayer and thanksgiving without self-consciousness or irony, and Edwards' music is baptized with intense, dynamic shifts that reflect the battle of inner striving. At the same time, his music flows freely into other traditions -- angry punk, rock and folk -- ones that Christians often reject as evil.
