"My Name Is Drew – Most bands would be hard-pressed to write, self-record and self-release a full length debut album in just over a year and live to tell the tale. Eclectic alternative/indie rockers My Name Is Drew aren’t like most bands. The band credits their success to the great friendship the members share. Check out the results of their hard work in the playlist below"

"...Tonight's Radio 104.5 4th Birthday Show is showcasing one of Delaware's up-and-coming bands, My Name is Drew, and unfortunately knowledge about this achievement is little know to Delawareans. Thus, I decided to pen this article to reveal the band's big-break, and also describe their incredible, and short, journey to the top..."

"What baffles me most about this band is not their electrifying stage show or their high level of professionalism, but their genuine kindness to others. I have seen them interact with fans and they are impeccable gentlemen, never denying to chat or pose for a picture. For a band that has played with acts such as Anarbor, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Foxy Shazam, Panic! At The Disco and Weezer they are exceedingly humble. My Name is Drew is a band that has set high musical and moral standards for themselves. They take their music and performances seriously and appreciate all the success and support they"

"The Delaware rock outfit, My Name is Drew opened the show with a tremendous energy. Their hand crafted props consisted of large balloons which were kicked into the crowd along with plaster ball piñatas containing confetti and free merch. The audience supported the group during their song “Green Light Go” by singing along after receiving auditory directions from vocalist Ethan Freeman. However, their involvement fell short, and so did guitarist, Curtis Jackson when he took a leap of faith into the audience. After recovering from the failed stage dive he returned to his spot beside Freeman, pointed to the crowd and clearly exclaimed “Be ready. I’m coming back for you.” During the final song Jackson tried his luck again, this time, with better results and MNiD finished their set with a roaring round of applause."

"Delaware indie punk band My Name Is Drew opened with an upbeat set, as singer/guitarist Ethan Freeman immediately established and maintained a positive, crowd-inviting vibe throughout selections including a punk cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall.” Guitarist Curtis Jackson joined in on the act by engaging bassist Zachary Schroeder in a secret handshake (during the opening number, “Inside My Head”) and in an apparent mind meld (during “The Other Side”) as well as attempting a little crowd surfing. The playfulness was complemented by drummer Rob Graves’ Captain America helmet and intense, hard hitting drumming."

Bio
My Name is Drew is a diverse group of guys looking to have a good time making music together. As different as all of our musical tastes and styles are, we have found a way to come together to make a sound that we feel is right. Founded on strong friendships and the desire to create music that is just as much fun, as it is to perform and speaks to us in its own way, My Name is Drew has made it through the highs and lows and it is just the start for us. We are comprised of Ethan Freeman, Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Curtis Jackson, Lead Guitar and Secondary Vocals, Robert Graves, Drums, and Zachary Schroeder, Bass. The four have officially been a band since June of 2008. But the relationships go much farther back to when Ethan and Curtis became best friends at the age of three, and when Rob and Zach first found chemistry in their church's worship band. All it took was that first awkward high school meeting for all four to come together to form what is today, My Name is Drew.
We have a belief that somehow, something big will come out of the tiny state we grew up in and make a name for ourselves. We want to succeed, not just for ourselves, but for the fans who believe in having a good time and have faith in bands that believe in playing music with passion. We are My Name is Drew.
