When it comes to singer/songwriters, it takes a lot to stand out from the crowd. Drew Schofield keenly pulls it off on his new record Away We Go. His voice range is impeccable, displayed rightfully on each song, at times reminding me of the way Johnnie Winter from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus seamlessly hits high notes out of nowhere. At most moments, the raw acoustic emotion pours out, taking the listener right into the song with him.
His melodies are basic, allowing the vocals to shine through, but never lacking that captivating sentiment necessary to push the desired emotion effortlessly across the table; an easy grasp for Schofield’s audience.
He sings about running away, coming home, and leaving again on this roller coaster of acoustic bliss that’s as hard to turn off as a Peyton Manning 4th quarter touchdown drive.

...Indie Ezine Editor's Note: Just simply happened to find Drew while scrolling through press releases, and I'm grateful I did after listening to his songs. Drew's song writing and vocals, together with his acoustic guitar, are skillfully performed as well as a delight to listen to. Drew holds true to his mastery of the folk rock style of the modern indie folk artist. The whole album "Away We Go" is comprised of one brilliantly planned out gem after another of contemporary indie folk rock songs... - IndieEzine.com

Bio
Drew Schofield was surrounded by music from his very beginnings. Born to a singer/songwriter mother and a church-going, hymn-singing father, Drew developed a love for music from his earliest years. His first instrument was drums, and he became passionate about percussion and the rhythmic elements of guitar early on.
The years since those early days have brought a maturity to Drew's music, and "Away We Go," his first full-length studio album, is a testimony to his sharpened skill as a singer/songwriter. The tunes are an acoustic-driven mix of folk rock with a pop sensibility that drive Drew's melodic hooks to the forefront of the listener's attention.
Soon after Away We Go was released, Drew was hand selected by Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks as a top 10 finalist out of 12,000+ entrants in Guitar Center's Singer Songwriter 2 nation-wide competition. The competition brought national attention to Drew's music, and he has begun to explore performances across the US. Drew shared the stage with John Mayer in May of 2013 during a special appearance at Hotel Utah in San Francisco, CA, and the future looks ever brighter for the young artist as doors continue to open for his music career.
