When we heard that Nashville veteran J Edwards was stopping through the Yellow City for a show on Route 66, we had to have him stop in on High Plains Morning for a chat and a live set.

Huge thanks to singer-songwriter J Edwards for sharing some time with the people of the High Plains! He was in town for a show at the Broken Spoke Lounge on Monday, April 6th, and he kindly popped into HPPR's Amarillo studios for a live set and conversation. He's on his way to play Country Thunder, a huge festival in Arizona.

Thanks, J, for the tunes, and safe travels to the fest! To hear our full interview and his live, in-studio performance, click the link at the top of this page.
