Press Reviews This is a rock band on the up-and-coming! TJ Edwards is one of Denver?s finest young guitarists. Alex Lemski, Creative Music Works Edwards' improvisational guitar musings dominate the sonic landscape...an unusual combination of Spanish/Gypsy acoustic guitar and raw, overdriven electric guitar...UVERSA will appeal to the eclectic rock fan looking for something different. Dan McAvinchey, Guitar Nine Records TJ Edwards is a player with a penchant for improvisation...he seems as comfortable strumming a classical acoustic guitar as he is generating some crunchy electric noise. Chris Decker, Westword magazine Some garageband.com reviews: You guys sound pretty good.
