History
The band began in 2001 as a solo project for Edwards while 16 Horsepower was taking a temporary hiatus. http://www.16horsepower.com/wovenhand.html Woven Hand's first live shows were performed by Edwards and multi-instrumentalist Daniel McMahon; the Woven Hand (album)|self-titled debut album was released in 2002 on Glitterhouse Records . Performances following this record featured Edwards, McMahon, drummer Ordy Garrison and cellist Paul Fonfara. 2003 saw the release of Blush Music , the score to a dance performance mostly composed of reworked material from the first record. Touring behind this album featured Shane Trost replacing Fonfara.
In 2004, Consider the Birds was released on the Sounds Familyre label, which has also released the previous Woven Hand releases domestically. Edwards performed the bulk of the instrumentation in the studio; he and Garrison toured behind the record as a two-piece. 16 Horsepower disbanded the following year, and Edwards further focused his attention on Woven Hand. Peter van Laerhoven, a Belgium|Belgian guitarist, was added to the lineup, while McMahon and Trost became inactive with the group.
After 2006's Mosaic (Woven Hand album)|Mosaic , Pascal Humbert, a founding member of 16 Horsepower, became the band's bassist. 2008's Ten Stones was the first record from the group written and performed collaboratively – the project had thus evolved into a proper band, albeit with Edwards firmly at its head. In 2009, the band operated as a three-piece, sans van Laerhoven.
Their fifth studio album, The Threshingfloor was released June 2010. Shortly thereafter, the group announced touring plans opening for the alternative metal band Tool (band)|Tool . http://www.antimusic.com/news/10/june/16Wovenhand_Announce_Tour_with_Tool_and_New_Album_Release.shtml Wovenhand Announce Tour with Tool and New Album Release, Antimusic.com, Retrieved 6-16-10
