Background
Welcome..
Drew is a life long musician who has devoted his life to his passion. A New York native, his heart lies in live performance and studio production. His influences are a wide array of artists and musical styles. Some examples are classical (big Beethoven fan), blues (Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith), swing (Count Basie, Glenn Miller), to the great crooners (Sinatra, Bennett, Cole), but his heart lies in rock and roll. From Elton to Joel, Nilsson to the Beatles, Bowie to Cooper, Keane to The Killers, so many rockers from 1955 to present find their place in his repertoire and catalogue..especially the Brits. Always open to new (or old) artists or other cultures musical styles, the list keeps growing along with his repetoire.
His fortune to work as musical director and musician with many artists he's admired over the years has made his experiences all the more worthwhile.
Drew's pianoman work has given him the opportunity to showcase a cross-section of music to audiences on a more personal level. His songlist of course covers much of the extensive catalogue of pianomen Elton John & Billy Joel. But with virtually every musical genre he is equally at home. Big Band crooners to Pink Floyd are all game. Drew regularly plays dinner clubs or private affairs in numerous Long Island and metro New York establishments.
