Kathleen Edwards celebrates new album "Total Freedom" with special release day livestream this Friday

Talented singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards is set to return with her first new full-length album in eight years this Friday, Aug. 14. Here is news of her livestream that will be beamed out to the world that day. Her 2012 album "Voyageur" was one of that year's best and it's fantastic she's back. The advance tracks I've heard are amazing (I can't get "Hard On Everyone" out of my head)...Robert Kinsler

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Kathleen Edwards will perform a special album release livestream concert this Friday, August 14 at 3 p.m ET/2pm CT from her own coffee shop, bar and café, Quitters.

Available to stream via Amazon Music's Twitch as well as Edwards' YouTube and Facebook pages, the event will feature Edwards performing songs from her highly anticipated new album, Total Freedom (out the same day), as well as a conversation between Edwards and WXPN's World Café host Raina Douris. RSVP HERE.

Listen to the single, "Options Open," as well as four additional album tracks HERE. 

Total Freedom is Edwards’ fifth-studio album since her 2003 debut and her first since 2012’s Voyageur. The album reached #39 on the United States’ Billboard 200 chart, #2 in Canada and received widespread critical acclaim—NPR Music praised, “Her songs feel as personal and lived-in as ever…Edwards has never seemed more confident in her own considerable gifts,” while Pitchfork declared, “Each song emphasizes change and risk, and Edwards never resorts to tired sentiments or platitudes about healing and hope” and Rolling Stone proclaimed, “an exquisite, widescreen beauty.” Now based in Ottawa, Ontario, Edwards is a five-time Juno Award nominee and winner of the SOCAN Songwriting Prize for Voyageurtrack, “A Soft Place to Land.” She has also had her music featured in several hit television shows including Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Hart of Dixie, House and more.
