Mr. Edward’s hits include “Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy,” “Sometimes,” “One Day Closer,” “Don’t Cry Blue,” “Emma,” “Everybody Knows Her,” “Athens County” and “Shanty.” One of his most notable songs, “Sunshine (Go Away Today),” released in 1971, still connects with faithful followers and new fans alike.
“Participating in the Pawtucket Arts Festival has enabled The Samaritans to connect with Rhode Islanders in ways we never imagined,” said Denise Panichas, executive director. “That is why we are excited Mr. Edwards will be joining us for this special celebration of the arts in the city and for The Samaritans’ 40th Anniversary. He is a thoughtful, down-to-earth artist who has inspired audiences across the ages. We know this will be a magical night for everyone.”
