Americana Sundays: An Afternoon with Drew Nelson

Michigan-born Navy veteran Drew Nelson is a storytelling songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. A fly fisherman and world traveler, he writes as a witness to the lives and journeys of those he has met along the way, mixing Americana and roots-rock with traditional folk styles.

Drew has toured across North America and Europe, performing solo and opening for popular rock artists like Melissa Etheridge and Edwin McCain as well as esteemed folk singers like Josh White Jr. and John Gorka.

“Drew Nelson’s songs are facile in poetry, tactile in tone. They’re simple, direct expressions via mere melody and a mittful of guitar chords. Such is Drew’s gift – the ability to extract spirit and soul from the jumble of modern life, and turn it into music.” — Amazing Radio
