Drew's debut album "On My Way Home"
reaches 2009 Grammy Awards first round
The
acoustic guitar-driven arrangements and positively themed lyrics
of singer/songwriter Drew Parker's debut album "On My Way Home"
landed him on the Grammy's 2009 entry ballot without help from any
major record label. The Barrie-based solo artist, who describes
his music as a blend of John Mayer, Bob Dylan, and Josh Groban found
his name alongside big-stage acts such as Neil Diamond, Jakob
Dylan, and Ryan Adams & the Cardinals.
Released the summer of 2008, the acoustic pop/rock album "On My Way
Home" was produced by Adrian Morales-Demori at Heiga AudioVisual
in Florida, and mastered by six-time Grammy-nominee and Juno-winner
Brad Blackwood at Euphonic Masters.
Press reactions to the album have been overwhelmingly positive,
like Chris Carrigan of Canada's 97.7 the Beach who says it
is, "Refreshing, positive, and delightful. Drew Parker turns the
downs in life... into ups." John Eaton of 95.1 The Peak FM says, "It's refreshing to hear an album that relies on great melodies,
interesting stories and solid musicianship to get its point across."
Before starting to promote his new album, Drew decided to first
help a cause close to his heart by participating in the Human Rights
Torch Relay, a tour meant to support human rights in China leading
up to this year's Olympic Games. The concert tour took him from
New York City all the way down to Miami and back to Toronto.
The tour featured Drew's single "Mother China," a song about
the persecution of Falun Gong in China, which he performed with
artist Sterling Campbell, the drummer for the B-52s and previously David Bowie and Soul Asylum. Sterling says, "Drew
sings straight from the heart about things that really matter. There's
not enough social consciousness in pop and Drew brings it to the
forefront again." Drew is also donating all proceeds from the
song "Mother China" to efforts to stop the persecution of Falun
Gong in China.
Over the past six years, Drew has traveled the northeastern seaboard
playing shows and performing at venues such as the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the White House, and the Toronto Centre
for the Arts. Drew has also had the pleasure of recording with
Juno Award-winning musician Kofi Ackah of African Guitar Summit.
Though it took an exhausting two years to complete "On My Way
Home," what kept Drew and his team going was the wish to give fans
a stellar musical experience with a positive vibe.
With the second half of the journey now beginning, expect to
see Drew Parker performing live at various venues promoting his
new album, "On My Way Home."
