A lifetime ago in a much sleepier Vancouver WA, I was fortunate enough to meet Edna through a Co worker. For a summer or so, we would hang at the local bar after work. Edna would come in dressed in full mariachi and we would talk music outside smoking cigarettes and drinking the cheapest beer. Let me tell you...she was a force. Wickedly intelligent and oozing with confidence. She had come from singing at different venues for hours and hours, but after a few beers and some good conversation, she always had a song for us. Outside at 1AM in an overcrowded smoking section full of mossy oak, carrhardts and the accepted toxicity of early 2000s, no one made a sound when Edna Sang. Not a peep, not a single move. She didn't need a mic... Her pure power was so captivating that she didnt need amplification. It was like she could project her very soul through her voice. Between the words, the melody whispered notes of pride,bravado,sadness and determination. No one who heard her in those days wasn't positive that she was destined to be a star. Even after all these years, I still remember those warm nights of stale beer and cigarettes wafting through the night air, punctuated by Edna's wonderful voice. Wherever she is...I hope she sees this and smiles. - Adam S.

I absolutely love this, thank you for sharing

Mi padre y made watched her perform at Neotune in Seattle last night and they were blown away. I was told through them of her brilliant performance and thought I may enjoy. They weren't wrong. Being Mexican may have influenced my favor for more of Edna Vasquez but deep within as a guitar player myself, I am moved beyond culture. Her voice and emotions are hypnotic. Thank you, kexp for acknowledging a one of a kind performer.
