Bio

UVERSA is the brainchild of guitarist/composer TJ Edwards, who formed the group in 2000 after writing, recording, and producing the debut album ?UVERSA?. The group?s music is an appealing creation that is popular in the jam-band idiom and has been described as ?Jimi Hendrix meets Al di Meola on a Mediterranean cruise with Pink Floyd?. The musicians in UVERSA are not your run-of-the-mill players. TJ Edwards, who holds a Bachelor?s degree in Music Composition, is an extremely accomplished guitarist in a wide range of styles that reflect his interest in diverse musical genres including rock, jazz, classical, and world/ethnic; while keeping one leg firmly in the blues. UVERSA includes Jason S on electric bass, who is also an excellent trombonist and earned a degree in Piano Performance and Composition from the Lamont School of Music in Denver; and drummer Kenny O, who is one of Denver?s most in-demand musicians. Blending a variety of musical styles including rock, funk, jazz, blues and world/acoustic, UVERSA peppers their music with heavy grooves, insightful lyrics and plenty of jamming to create an intriguing sonic experience featuring acoustic and electric guitars, bass, keys, vocals, percussion, drum loops, and saxophone that is reminiscent of various improvisation-based groups such as Jimi Hendrix, Charlie Hunter, Santana; Phish, Medeski Martin and Wood, Ozric Tentacles, Led Zeppelin, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
