About Me

Me, Myself, and I: ABOUT HillbillyGQ
Born in Mt. Pleasant, PA on January 21, 1969, Eric Edwards grew up with a very strong musical childhood. His father, Norman, played bluegrass and traditional country music, while mother, Viola, loved Elvis Presley and the Oldies, and he and sister, Teresa, listened to the modern rock and country tunes of the times. Eric began his musical career at the age of 10 by performing and winning local talent shows. Upon high school graduation, he began various studio recording projects and performed in different bands, including country/rock band 'Win, Lose or Draw', rock band 'Caution', and modern rock bands 'D.K.S.M.' and 'Instryd'.
Moving to Nashville in 1997, Eric befriended Peter Bailey, both creating the unique sound of the Christian Rock band '4N'. Baptized in 2003, he then toured the Rockies in country/rock bands 'Young Guns', '3rd World Party', and 'Whiskey Bay' in 2005-2006.
Currently, Eric is recording material for his first CD, and scheduling a tour in 2009.
