Jonathan Edwards Brings "Sunshine" to the Narrows

Saturday, April 23 marks the 2nd show we've done with Jonathan Edwards, who had mainstream success with the song "Sunshine."

You know: "Sunshine go away today, don't feel much like dancin'" or some words to that effect. It's a short, peppy tune that never seems to get old, though it goes back to 1971. As is written on his website:


"Sunshine" was an energetic, happy-sounding statement of protest and independence. "It was just at the time of the Vietnam War and Nixon,"Jonathan recalls. "It was looking bad out there. That song meant a lot to a lot of people during that time--especially me." It started on a Boston radio station, and before long it hit the top five on the national charts. It earned him a gold record in 1971.


Last time he was here, we had a lot of fun. Don't miss him this time!
