Biography

Denver, Colorado, United States (2001 – present)

Woven Hand is the personal project of David Eugene Edwards, former frontman of 16 Horsepower, featuring a revolving cast of collaborators from Denver, Colorado, United States.

The band began in 2001 as a solo project for Edwards while his primary group, 16 Horsepower, were taking a temporary hiatus. The band’s first live shows were performed by Edwards and multi-instrumentalist Daniel McMahon; the debut, self-titled Woven Hand album was released in 2002 on Glitterhouse Records. Performances following this record were executed by Edwards, McMahon, drummer Ordy Garrison and cellist Paul Fonfara. 2003 saw a release of Blush Music, the score to a dance performance mostly composed of reworked material from the first record. Touring behind this album saw Shane Trost replacing Fonfara.

In 2004, Consider the Birds was released on the Sounds Familyre label, who has also released the previous Woven Hand releases domestically. Edwards performed the bulk of the instrumentation in the studio; he and Garrison toured behind the record as a two-piece.

2005 saw both the demise of 16 Horsepower and the Woven Hand debut of guitarist Peter van Laerhoven, a Belgian guitarist - McMahon and Trost were now inactive with the group. 2006’s Mosaic album featured more input from Garrison and van Laerhoven, but still read like an Edwards solo album for the most part. Touring behind the record saw the inclusion of Pascal Humbert, 16 Horsepower’s founding and long-time bassist. Nonetheless, Edwards also played solo tours at this time billed as Woven Hand.

2008’s Ten Stones, conversely, was the first record from the group written and performed collaboratively; the project had thus evolved into a proper band, albeit with Edwards firmly at its head.

    Eventhough i'm not religious I'm very fascinated by spirituality in Wovenhand. I myself have an insrumental project that somewhat operates within the same borders. http://www.last.fm/music/western+skies+motel

    i watched in an interview that david sometimes goes into shows with a specific tone of music in mind-heavy music type show,, more acoustic--the reverse holds true==keeping expectations off base

    i read somewhere, that it's 1876 all over again. If the recording technology had existed back then, I'd have no trouble believing that he had really lived in some 19th-century western frontier outpost. every autumn and winter when the cold air and short days come, the Woven Hand discs have to come off the rack.

    Wovenhand is now touring the US! But not near me. Maybe they'll get here (I hope, I hope, I hope!)

    I like the new direction. Fresh, strong and heavy.

    I know I mentioned it before but, I wish the "non-believers" had the chance to hear the new sound live. The new set-up - especially the bassist - works really well with DEE on stage and that deafening heavy sound was... I don't even know, it just put me in a trance. Even though I DID miss my favourites off the older albums, I'm glad I got to experience his "new ways", that way. It wasn't just DEE on a chair, it was a bloody good show.

    Who cares if it's soft or heavy, it's DEE, and DEE is always awesome.

    Disagree with Gravetemplar. I think it's refreshing to hear a more unrestrained, rock oriented album. In some sense, "Ten Stones" was a long the lines of this one and it's my favorite of all of them. DEE seems to be going with the flow and going with his desire to perform heavier music; whether it be live or in the studio. My only regret is it seems Wovenhand will never tour here in the States and is consigned to Europe only. That sucks.

    I get your point Gravetemplar, I too would rather have them make a more laid back album next time. That being said, I do think it's fantastic they released an album that's just as intense as their live performances. I'm really enjoying this one and can't wait to see these songs live next week!
