"Deniel Edwards is a true original. No one loves the guitar more than Deniel. His devotion to music is inspiring and he is one of a kind. His playing carries on the tradition of the greats like Beck, Page, and Clapton in the truest tone."
Jon Hyde


"I DID go to your site! Viewed the pictures, listened to your music, read the bio, etc.. You really do play a mean guitar, my friend! I enjoyed "Ridin' High" and other Don Peake stuff! And "Stormy Monday Blues" was very, very different than all of the others played. You have a very fertile interpretation of that song. Your overall playing is very soulful and effortless! I would almost think that Stevie Ray learned from you! Loved the Ricky Nelson song "It's Late"!

Anyway, proud to have known you and played with you! I also remember Craig Krampf - a very good drummer!

Keep on rockin', my old friend, and the best of luck and health to you! Again, sure enjoyed your site!"

Richard "Dick" Schurk

God bless you my friend, and keep rocking!!!"

You bring out everything that I want to hear in a guitar player, energy, beautiful licks and yet very aggressive ones. You also are a true person. I never have to guess where you stand on anything. You are an honest and warm person. I am truly a fortunate musician to have crossed paths with you. Sure hope we can have one more time together on the stage. Take care and keep rockin."
