The video for “East Shore / West Shore,” shot on 16mm film at Vancouver’s Warehouse Studios, debuted exclusively at Exclaim.ca. Grayowl Point described it as, “a
beautiful song that hopes to bridge the distance between two lovers.
The live video for ‘East Shore/West Shore,’ like its song, is warm and
filled with sincerity.”

That description has often been applied to Edel’s music, and with India, Seattle
he has assembled a collection of songs both emotionally powerful and
instantly memorable. “I don’t think personal records are the most
immediate, maybe it’s that they are too specific, and mine is specific,”
Edel says. “It’s specific to places and moments and snapshots in my
mind, and it’s specific to people. I called it India, Seattle.”

Born
and raised in rural Alberta, Edel has the work ethic to prove it,
having played hundreds of shows across the U.S. and Canada. Since
relocating to Victoria in 2009, he has been named The Zone @ 91.3’s Band
Of The Month, and in 2012 he earned a top five placing in 102.7 The
Peak’s Performance Project. That year was capped off with the track “The
Country Where I Came From” being named Single of the Year by the
Victoria Times-Colonist. From there, Edel has earned rave reviews
for performances at the Victoria International Jazz Fest, Rifflandia
Festival and Tall Tree Festival, while also sharing stages with Serena
Ryder, Hannah Georgas and Chad Van Gaalen.
