With a voice equal parts grit, smoke and confection, Nicole Edwards has garnered a reputation as the Yukon's premiere folk-rock-jazz-blues diva. Originally from South River, Ontario now based in Mt Lorne, Yukon, Nicole blazed her musical trail as an independent, unplugged songstress.
In a career that has taken her to barrooms and ballrooms, Nicole has shared the stage with the Sam Roberts Band, Ken Whiteley, Bif Naked, John Mays, Scott Merritt & Brandon Isaak. She's been a featured artist at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Hugh's Room in Toronto, and the Dawson City Music Festival. Nicole also earned a West Coast Music Award nomination for her work and an invitation to perform at the event's televised gala celebration.
Despite the fact that Nicole lives with scleroderma (an auto-immune connective tissue disease) she continues her musical path undaunted with a renewed and unexpected focus towards her songwriting and a deep appreciation of the joy and healing music brings to life.
