He has headlined sold-out concerts at the James Lumber Center (500+ attendees), performed for thousands at festivals across the Midwest, and has been named a "Best Bets" pick for live entertainment multiple times by the Daily Herald, the second-largest newspaper in Chicagoland. He holds a 5.0 rating on GigSalad with glowing reviews from couples across the Midwest. With 7 original albums, 100+ singles, and over 800 videos on YouTube, you can hear exactly what Drew sounds like before you commit to anything — no surprises. He brings a catalog of over 1,000 songs to every wedding — from Bach to Beyoncé, Pachelbel to Ed Sheeran. What sets Drew apart is his signature sound. Using professionally produced backing tracks featuring full piano, string, and rhythm arrangements, Drew delivers the rich, layered, cinematic sound of a full ensemble — all through a single, stunning live cello performance. Couples consistently say they didn't need to hire a string quartet; Drew delivers the full experience at a fraction of the cost. The only thing he needs from your venue is a standard power outlet. A self-taught musician who plays entirely by ear, Drew boasts a repertoire of over 1,000 songs spanning classical favorites, movie soundtracks, pop, rock, and original compositions. Whether you want to walk down the aisle to a timeless classic, fill cocktail hour with elegant background music, or surprise your guests with a modern hit they never expected to hear on a cello, Drew makes it happen — seamlessly and beautifully. He works with you personally to build the perfect setlist, from the prelude as guests arrive to the recessional as you walk out as a married couple. You always have final say. No two performances are alike — every setlist is built from scratch around your story, your songs, and your vision for the day. Available for ceremonies, cocktail hours, rehearsal dinners, and receptions — and he travels nationwide. Drew and his team respond to every inquiry quickly, coordinate all logistics in advance, and arrive ready to make your day perfect. As Drew says: "No matter who you are, I have a song for you."
