Culminating a dream that began 45 years ago, the Council of Thirteen proudly releases their debut album “In Between The Dark and The Light” on Renaissance Records.
The brainchild of keyboardist, vocalist, bassist and songwriter John W. Edwards, has its formations in songs that John started writing in 1979 while studying Physics and Mathematics at the University of Arizona in Tucson. John finished his MS in Systems Engineering and went on to a career in Aerospace Engineering. John had the dream of starting a record label and soon thereafter, Renaissance Records was born. Formed and operating in Nashville between 1995 and 2001, he relocated the label back to Arizona, where it has been ever since.
“I took the approach of the Alan Parsons Project with different vocalists and musicians, while adding my own keyboards, some bass and vocals.”
Therefore, The Council of Thirteen was born by combining the talents of 13 other musicians and singers with John’s songs and some great covers of other classic rock artists’ tunes. The full first album package of 48 tracks presented on 2 CDs gives a little something for everyone from power rock ballads to 70s pop songs, to 80s rock and new wave tunes and some great contemporary rock performances.
Album 2 - Lights of the Stage features 19 more compositions from John and 5 classic covers
Album 3 - Find A Way Tonight features 20 original songs by John
If you love classic melodic rock with a modern twist….then The Council Of Thirteen is for you!
