Thank you for stopping by.

I am a musical busker. You'll find mp3s at itunes, amazon.com or cdbaby .

This is my story,

I am a native of the Pacific North West. I am a 'child of the rain'. Born in Vancouver Canada, I was raised in a rural setting in the wilds of British Columbia. I have vivid memories of being lost for a full day in the rainforest at the age of 6, when I believe I went through an experience of spiritual discovery; being led out of the bush as night was falling, by the sounds of Native drumming coming from the grounds of a former residential school. This was when I realized I can depend only on myself through life's journey. My adopted animal spirit is the wolf.

I'm a singer/songwriter of folkrock pop songs, which have been described as being:

"rich in lyrical imagery" (the Vancouver Sun)
"perfect pop hooks" (the Vancouver Courier)
"Jim Morrison vibe" (Recording Magazine)
"gritty" (Sun Media), and more.

Sometimes my songs are soft, sometimes they're hard, sometimes they're smooth, sometimes they're edgy. I have many moods, and my songs reflect those moods.

Music took hold of my soul at an early age, and I've been playing since the early era of indie music; the radical 1980's. Since that time I have continued to play clubs, pubs, coffee houses, and many other venues both in bands, and as a solo performer.

More reviews include:

INDIE CAFE REVERBNATION "one of the best indie artists out there."
RECORDING MAGAZINE "emotion"
THE WESTENDER "a power of their own."
THE VANCOUVER COURIER "perfect pop hooks."

I invite you to have a listen to a track at itunes, amazon.com or cdbaby , and if you like it, please buy an mp3 download to enjoy.

Thank you,

drew

Bookings managers, or anyone otherwise interested, I also have a vast repertoire of contemporary and classic pop rock songs which I perform as a solo, soft rock artist at various venues. You can download a copy of my 'Covers Medley' mp3 here :featuring Red Red Wine (a 1960's, and again in the 1980's hit), Use Somebody (a contemporary hit), and Peggy Sue (a hit from the 1950's).
