Drew & The Blue
Get ready to Oogie Boogie! We’ve been invited to join Drew & the Blue in their garage studio to take in some of their garage-kept surf-punk rock-n-roll madness, where they’ve recorded a bunch of their tracks, like their latest single “Cigarette”.
In This Episode
We take a dive in to their origin stories, inspirations and what they’ve got planned for the future. We also share a bunch of their great music, including some highlight from their electric set during Musikfest this past summer. They also perform “Snakeskin Boots” for us live in the garage and it’s not to be missed.
