Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own! This profile was made at www.wonderbackgrounds.com Born in Sweden and now a resident of the US, Dre is the product of a very famous musical family.Her parents graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm Sweden, her father was honored with a postage stamp, and the family toured in churches across the world for most of her childhood.But her search for her own musical identity took her down many roads, from being part of a pop group in LA to experimenting with Blues and Rock. Dre's Awakening's sound has been described as Norah Jones meets Allison Krauss and Patty Griffin. It's also been called "Hard Folk" music with Dre being labeled a bit of an activist as she tackles subjects in her lyrics that not many people want to touch, to raise awareness--but with a very accessible sound. Dre is joined by Shane Theriot (best known for his work with Boz Scaggs and the Neville Brothers) on guitar, who's also a composer and lends his expertise as a band leader, along with different musicians who float in and out, including John Jarvis and Josh Shilling on piano--they are surrounded by the amazing Traveling McCoury's (Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Jason Carter and Alan Bartram). Together they are creating a sound that's fresh and yet still reminiscent of the past.
