A lot of players have forgotten what the rock solo is for, but Drew knows and he uses it to take the music to a new level. And just to make sure you stay interested, he switches to electric violin."
We're excited to present these two talented musicians; two of our favorites on one stage! Amazing vocals and great musicianship.
