Drew Rouse( drewrouse.com ) is a fiercely independent writer and musician who has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe. He has captivated audiences from coast to coast and across the oceans with his songs about environmental and social justice, plus the usual fare. As he always says “All my songs are love songs”. Drew has a unique propensity and ability for meshing smooth rhythms with driving and hypnotic melodies around deeply relevant issues. Never preachy, the result is often described as “Conscious Soul Music”.
Soulful yes, but Drew effortlessly meanders through many different styles and multiple genres within each set. His sound is melodic and powerful with a heightened sensibility that keeps your mind and body moving. Drew’s extensive and constant touring, energetic live performances, paired with his solid charismatic presence have earned him a very diverse and loyal following.
Drew has been offered numerous recording and publishing contracts over the years but has always turned them down for deeply principled and ethical reasons. He understood long ago that in signing such deals his music would most likely be used to sell unconscious products, thus helping perpetuate a toxic paradigm. Drew then chose to remain completely independent and to “Occupy” stages and continues to write songs that seem to reminisce of a beautiful future, while others songs like “Chicken Hawks” with it’s scathing and correct assertions on war, scold the powers that shouldn’t be.
