With indelible hooks, savvy craftsmanship and relatable lyrics, he brings a certain verve to his work that resonated with audiences and fellow performers alike. 

Drew found his love for music growing up in a house filled with the sounds of artists like Tom Petty, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. He’s Influenced by these classic rock sounds mixed with artists of today like Ben Rector, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer. These voices combined with his own city life experiences, relationships, and obstacles gives Drew a unique and dynamic sound in today’s pop rock/singer-songwriter world.

His work ethic and captivating nature have led him down some pretty amazing paths. He has shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli, Nile Rogers, Harry Styles, Will Evans (Barefoot Truth), Marc Broussard, Tyler Hilton and Anders Osborne.

Drew’s latest release, “A Snow Globe Christmas” (street date 11.13.2020) draws from his love of the quintessential holiday sounds of Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Nat King Cole. Drew was inspired to write two new original Christmas songs and reimagine some of his favorite traditional holiday classics that he grew up on.

Drew is one to watch. Plus he’s got great hair.
