The word “legend” is often used to describe veteran folk/rocker Jonathan Edwards, whose 1971 million-selling song “Sunshine” (“go away today…”) brought him instant fame.

He was born in Minnesota and 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.”

Edwards will be performing at Tupelo Music Hall, 2 Young Road in Londonderry on Saturday, June 12, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30. For tickets or more information call 437-5100 or visit www.tupelohall.com.
