Drewvis

Brighton based Singer-Songwriter Drew 'Drewvis' Bristow likes to do things differently... Blending Acoustic Ska and Reggae flavours with Indie style lyrics and vocals, creating an interesting and friendly sound for your ears to warm to. Drews plan as a child growing up was to become a cartoonist. Luckily for us, at the age of 18 Drew decided to rebel and wander off that path, and pursue his interest in music - possibly a bit of a silly thing to do seeing as he had no (realised) musical talent at the time! That was soon to change and during the passing years a thing called 'Life' happened to Drew, bringing us to today, he tells us about his many adventures, ups and downs, ons and offs, rights and wrongs in the music you are hearing now. Humble and often modest, Drew will instantly make you feel like a close friend you've known for years, welcoming you in to his world with memorable tunes, heartfelt and often comical lyrics. 2010 saw Drewvis and bassist Paul 'Pablo' Mason hit Seattle to tour with long time friends Natalie Wouldn't, and more US and Eastern Europe gigs are in the pipeline. His second album 'Disposable Pleasures and Meaningful Pursuits' is OUT NOW on Do The Dog Music. Please note: Drewvis hardly comes near Myspace anymore as it seems to be dieing on it's arse so if you'd like to keep up to date with all things Drewvis, please visit the Facebook/Soundcloud/BandCamp pages or contact him directly via: kungfudrewvis@gmail.com "Just Imagine The Specials drinking tea with Damien Rice and you have some idea of the musical mixture on offer from this one-man-band." - DirtE Records "Raw & rootsy, sing-a-long camp fire, acoustic vibes with super catchy & uplifting lo-fi ska & reggae goodness in the mould of Chris Murray, Dan Potthast & Skylar" - Do The Dog Music "For The Win - This is a wonderfully light summer time companion, around the campfire, mood setting album
