Edgell Brothers Band

Doug Edgell's 13-track record, "Ghosts Inside My Memory", is a pop/rock collection that showcases Edgell's approachable vocal and a sweeping/modern AC production value from Don Maue. The title track pushes Edgell's falsetto at the top of the chorus with flavors that remind us of Richard Marx and Daniel Powter. One of the highlights of the record is "Block out the Sun" - the acoustic intro and harmonic progressive choices have a Beatles tinge, but moves into something a bit more modern and contemplative. There's a sad yet hopeful vibe that works well for the range Edgell shows in both his writing and vocals. The supportive strings are dramatic and emotional as he sings, 'love can be hard, it can get you down, don't let it spoil your fun. .don't let it block out the sun'. We hear influences from America's "tin man" to Steve Miller's "joker" in other tracks, rounding out the overall singer/songwriter pop sound that grew out of the 70's. Even so, the clear and clean modern production takes those influences and fine songwriting ability and brings them current. Edgell hits another fine note in "10,000 Angels", as we find him again in the form of 'sun' - acoustic guitar introduces his vocal bare and vulnerable which is where his strength resides. "For You" is another gem on the record and the dramatic production, again, is AC radio-ready. Edgell leaves us with the medium grooved, "Fool 4 Life", a tribute to living life as perfectly as possible - without cynicism and 'with my spirit free. 'a fool 4 life'. The optimistic and overall sweetness of the CD reveals the artist as he confirms his contentment with being that fool until he's done - leaving behind kind and thoughtful music. Well done.

I've enjoyed the many years that we've worked with the Edgell Brothers Band. Thank you for your contribution to the business and your dedication to your craft. You remain one of the best entertainers that I've worked with. - Justin Marquez (owner, Magoo’s restaurant)

Patti, Lindsey and I want to thank you, Scott and Kelly for a truly excellent show at our graduation party! Your sound was amazingly good for an outside performance, and it was impressive to see you playing all night at such a high energy level despite the 90+ heat. We received lots of compliments from our guests Saturday, and again at work today. Everybody really enjoyed the songs that you picked. Please be sure to pass our thanks onto Scott and Kelly too.

Thanks again,

Bob, Patti and Lindsey
