Drew Jacobs

I grew up listening to Motown, Otis Redding, Joe Tex, the Drifters, Garnnett Mimms and the Enchanters (and about a million other soul singers from the 50s and 60s!) as well as country, gospel, blues and pop- and everything in between. Oldies radio was my best friend as a teenager who felt he was born out of time. Then I discovered punk and the DIY philosophy. Playing in local bands around Myrtle Beach, I eventually cultivated a passion for songwriting- creating my own little stories and melodies. Although much of my music today sounds rooted more in the traditional styles of my parents and aunts and uncles, I believe there is still a detectable trace of that defiant spirit I used to carry in those dirty punk rock clubs.
