About Edge City

Edge City’s new “Keepers of the Flame” CD combines the singer/songwriter tradition of their home in Austin, Texas, with the East Coast rock and roll of their former home in Baltimore.

Based on the songs of singer/guitarist Jim Patton and the wall of sound vocal interplay between Patton and singer/partner Sherry Brokus, “Keepers of the Flame” blends Patton’s lyrics about the friends he grew up with in suburban Maryland with Byrds/Band/Petty style American rock.

On “Keepers of the Flame” a man discovers alternate definitions of success; a daughter waits in a bar for the father who walked out on her years ago; a father tells his child not to make the same mistakes he did; a brave woman breaks free of an abusive past; people fall in love; relationships end; relationships endure.

“Keepers of the Flame” was produced by Bradley Kopp (Iain Matthews, Jeff Talmadge) and features some of Austin’s finest players: Lloyd Maines (Joe Ely, Dixie Chicks), Glenn Fukunaga (Eliza Gilkyson), Freddie Krc (Jerry Jeff Walker, Roky Erickson), David Webb (Jimmy Lafave), Darcie Deaville (Ray Wylie Hubbard), Jon Sanchez (Abra Moore, Troy Campbell), and Lorrie Singer.
