With my own studio in my house, It's great to be able to get ideas recorded immediately.
I record, edit and master my Podcasts here and I'm always working on either new songs of my own or recording cover songs and giving them my own edge.
AWAY
I've been blessed with the amount of amazing places I've visited because of my music.
I love being "On the road"
My favorite has to be Germany and in particular The Rhineland area of Germany.

DREW #PROJECT7016 brings together many years of survival and gratitude. Each song was
written during one hospital stay or another and captures a different time, place and mood.
It also reflects the many musical genres which have influenced Andy.

"DREW #PROJECT7016 my first album of original songs has been in the works for along time. It's a lot more than a dream come true for me to finally send these songs out into the world. I want as many people as possible to hear them and hopefully relate in some small way to their light and shade".
