Staci's Edge mixes rock, blues and pop in their debut album “I’ve Got It All”
Monday, 23 May 2011
Staci's Edge offers an opportunity to hear some of the best rock music in town. They were nominated by the Houston Press "Best of Houston 2010" awards as one of the top bands in the city. Butler's searing guitar riffs, inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, beautifully compliment her fresh, indy-rock melodies in ways that are nothing short of innovative. Rounding out their distinctive sound, Staci's Edge boasts some of the most consummate musicians on the current indy circuit. Guitarist Chris Shaw proves the old saying that you can never have too much of a good thing by weaving his own 6-string stylings seamlessly around Butler's, bassist Corey Moss adds the driving thump that keeps audiences on their feet, and drummer Kirk Gentle is anything but, as he seals each song with precise rhythmic style.
It's been a long road for lead singer, songwriter and guitarist, Staci Butler, whose life experiences have influenced both the sound and identity of Staci's Edge in numerous ways. In 2003, Butler put the guitar down and bowed out of Houston’s music scene to start a family. Two years later, her world was rocked by a cancerous diagnosis. Butler found her fighting spirit and battled through ten months of chemo and radiation therapies. She came through it with a clean bill of health, a new lease on life and a determined inspiration for her music.
"I was so grateful for a new chance at living," says Butler. "I decided that if I was going to make my dreams a reality I needed to do it now."
She sat at her piano and was inspired to write “For the First Time.” A song about her new view on life,— if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can achieve anything.
"I was going to start living my dream for the first time", says Butler.
She’'s done just that! Butler has been cancer free for 5 years and her new mantra has paid off for her and her band. Staci's Edge was formed in 2008 and their fan base has been growing steadily ever since. With the release of their new CD “I’ve Got It All,” more success is on the horizon for Staci's Edge.
