Third Thursday with Drew Preston

This month's guest is my friend, Drew Preston. Drew has a rich history of performing. He's shown quite a knack for songwriting, even though he's relatively new at it. He's currently at work on his first album. I'm delighted to share the stage with him and Matt Giles.

A lifetime in the Texas music scene has taken Drew thru multiple genre changes and years of emotional musical moments. Currently in Austin, Drew has finally moved to the front of the stage to let his voice be heard. His musical experiences have taken him from gospel, to opera, to jazz, to country, and now to his own music in the Americana realm. Drew pulls influence from Nina Simone, Tom Waits, Mavis Staples, Jim Croce, The Paper Kites, and so many more. His music has been described as "passionate and personal", as well as "Fascinating...Surprising...and coming from a very sincere place". Drew prefers to describe it as, "Music that takes you thru life and shows you the world thru someone else's eyes."
