Local singer-songwriter Bill Edwards—co-writer of the tune “What'd I Do?” (with ex-Ann Arborite Whit Hill), which was featured on HBO’s fangtastic vampire hit “True Blood” a few seasons ago—has a show at Crazy Wisdom Saturday.

Edwards, who lives in Ann Arbor and is a software engineer by day, divides his time between here and Nashville. He’s played frequently at Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe as well as at The Ark locally, and has also played the annual NashBash here (and will do so again Aug. 15).

A 1990 winner of a Billboard magazine country music songwriting contest, Edwards released his fifth full-length CD, “My Kind of Crazy,” nearly a year ago.

In a 2012 interview with annarbor.com, Edwards said he started out in the James Taylor era as a singer-songwriter.

“I went from that to bluegrass and country, played in a bunch of country bands. Then I was lucky enough to win the Billboard song contest. At that point I didn’t really understand that songwriter was a job description,” he said.

Evidently he’s learned the job well. Success aside, his easy stage presence and charmingly humorous stories make audience members feel right at home.

Bill Edwards performs at Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tearoom, 114 S. Main St., Saturday, Aug. 10 at 8:30 p.m. Admission is free. Details at www.crazywisdom.net or 734-665-2757.
