Edwina‘s beautifully written songs, charming stage presence and voice of an angel have won her a reputation as a true natural talent of gentle folk-Americana on both sides of the Atlantic.

She has opened numerous shows for Jools Holland and Van Morrison and toured with artists ranging from Loudon Wainwright, Fairport Convention and Roger McGuinn to KT Tunstall and Gretchen Peters as well as her own gigs, playing stages everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to The Royal Albert Hall. The title track of her second album, Pour Me a Drink, was covered by Nanci Griffith, who calls her “the sweetest voice in England” and her version of Randy Newman’s Feels Like Home featured in the Hollywood film My Sister’s Keeper starring Cameron Diaz.
