The Lagoon Summer Concert Series welcomes Colorado-based indie-rock band Edison to the stage on Wednesday, July 25. The concert will take place on the west lawn of the Lory Student Center and run from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Edison was formed in 2014 as lead singer and guitarist Sarah Slaton looked for a creative outlet to help her cope with the loss of her mother to cancer. Since 2015, Edison has been tirelessly touring across the country, fostering many relationships along the way. They have since created a national fan base after playing at SXSW, CMJ Music Marathon and Folk Alliance International. Although their lyrics can come from a heartbroken, modern folk place, they always remain upbeat and give high-energy live shows that their fans have come to love.
Along with Slaton, band members include multi-instrumentalist Dustin Morris and guitarist Maxwell Hughes, formerly of the Grammy-nominated band The Lumineers. Together, the trio creates a modern folk sound with impactful lyrics that appeal to audiences of all ages and demographics. Edison was signed to the New Jersey-based independent label Rhyme and Reason Records in March 2016 and released their first LP in September 2016. Learn more about Edison at www.listentoedison.com.
