The Goldfinch Room: Drew Peterson
This month’s Singer-Songwriter Showcase features Drew Peterson.
Peterson is an independent Americana singer-songwriter who has captivated fans across the Midwest for more than 15 years. With clever, dry humor and thought-provoking lyrics, Peterson’s music is like oil over gravel. Drawing on influences from John Prine, Tom Waits, Cat Stevens, and Van Morrison, among others, Peterson offers the world upbeat tunes with a soft-spoken gravitas that belies his years. With a performance style that can transform from intimate listening room to rowdy festivals and bars, Peterson always gives his heart and soul to the stage. And with each new performance, he asks of the world to remember what music is all about: connecting through storytelling.
