In 2007, Drew founded Baskethouse Records and produced an acoustic solo album, his first solo CD. The songs are an eclectic mix of original folk-y songs. On the album, Drew also recorded two of his favorite covers: John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" (with vocals from Pamela Quinn and Amal Bouhabib) and Michael P. Smith's "The Dutchman." The CD is available for sale at www.baskethouserecords.com and on iTunes.
Drew's song "Prove Me Wrong" was chosen as a finalist in November 2007 in the highly esteemed Song of the Year Contest.
