‘Music Connection Hot 100 Live Unsigned Artists & Bands’ List for 2014

This track is on the third album, Elements in Continuity: Essays On Parallelism in her four-disc set. The video can be viewed on YouTube here: http://goo.gl/UG5chS.
Also coming from Edwards this winter is a limited edition package featuring eight of her 45 tracks on a special CD sampler, along with an aromatherapy candle and inspirational door hanger to designate time and silence for one’s inner growth.
Edwards recently attend the 5th Annual Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) as she was nominated for her empowering song “A Face In the Crowd” from her album Hieroglyphs of Emotion.
The multi-talented artist scored her first HMMA nomination in February in the Adult Contemporary/AAA category for her single “Anything Anymore” from the first CD of the set, No Prayers Could Ever Save Me From the Love You Never Gave Me.

The 7th Annual HMMAs will take place Thursday, November 20, 2014 at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.

The ethereal indie rocker scored her first HMMA in February in the Adult Contemporary/AAA category for her single “Anything Anymore” from the first CD of the set No Prayers Could Ever Save Me From the Love You Never Gave Me. Mae recently released her highly anticipated new full-length recording Hieroglyphs of Emotion to iTunes and Amazon on April 7.

Released December 1, 2013, Edwards’ first disc in the series, No Prayers Could Ever Save Me From the Love You Never Gave Me, has received across the board critical praise. Devon Cathlin of Surf Rock Music described it as, “Pure shining brilliance – and, in this case, using both shining and brilliance is NOT a redundancy, but an understatement!”
Tony Pinizzotto of Edge On The Net has called the book, “. . . a strong multi-leveled Spiritual Rock . . . (and) a valid representation of the pendulum of spirituality we occur on a daily basis.”
As 2014 progresses, Edwards plans to release the next two discs in the series, Elements in Continuity/Essays On Parallelism (Disc 3) and finally, Grace (Disc 4).
