THE FULL

Drew bought his first guitar at age 11 in the Philippines. The 38 year old self taught guitar player, vocalist and proud Buckeye has been obsessed with music since a child. With no plan B in sight the entertainer has spread his wings far beyond the borders of Ohio and even the country. A now proud “ American Idol Reject “ Drew tried out for the show at the height of its popularity in 2004. The tryout’s held at Cleveland Browns stadium would inspire the young hopeful to take music to the next level. Carrie Underwood would go on to win the show that season. Roughly two years later Drew’s songwriting and unique approach to music landed him a major record deal with Sony Music. After reading the contract beyond the dollar signs the artist declined the offer stating he just wanted to be a “ regular person. “ For many reasons the performer feels his decision has paid off in spades. One pay off came two years later in 2008 when he met world class saxophone player Mr. A.C Collins. The two musicians collided at an open mic hosted by Fat’s Bar & Billiards in Dublin Ohio. The rest is history. Thousands of shows later their 12 years of chemistry and friendship is a joy to witness on stage. With close to 100 years of combined experience the DUO is breaking rules in a positive way. The end result is a product properly aged, seasoned and truly one of a kind.
