After more than 10 years together, the Denver alt-country group 16 Horsepower has recently called it quits, leaving its primary singer/songwriter David Eugene Edwards all alone with a little side project he likes to call Woven Hand. Okay, maybe not so little, especially considering the success of last year's Consider the Birds. Regardless, Edwards will definitely shed even the slightest trace of side-projectory as he takes Woven Hand out on the road for the first time. Brother Danielson, founder of WH's label Sounds Familyre and fellow Christian musician, will accompany Edwards and co. for the majority of the tour. This can only mean one thing: Edwards feels confident. Confidence is the only way to explain Woven Hand's first tour being spent trying to one-up a big tree strumming a guitar. Dates:

And while all this bodes well for the future, if your nostalgic eyes became misty upon reading the first paragraph, you'll have one final moment of glory. Smooch Records will be releasing a DVD entitled 16 HP which will include all of 16 Horsepower's music videos, interview footage, and live footage taken mostly from their European shows. Other ex-16 Horsepower members Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola have now moved on to a project entitled Lilium, in case you're keeping score.
