Jim Drew and Humble Soul CD Release
Jim Drew, an artist who has performed thousands of concerts over the years, has been able to form a band over the last few years by the name of Humble Soul. in the summer of 2008 they released "Escape Velocity" The CD release party was a huge success in establishing them as professional musicians with a ton of heart and skill and a lot of fun to come and hear. Escape Velocity and it was well worth the wait for this latest project and is now well worth the listen
Jim also has a temporary management agreement with Incubator Creative Group out of Cheshire, Oregon as a solo artist. They have been working on artist development material since March of 2008. In addition to this Jim has been able to produce some music for new artists in Nashville as well as here in Rochester. He has 7 solo albums as well as one with GForce listed on this site and now the ninth CD is with Humble Soul. He also recently had a cut of a cover remake he was commissioned to create of the song "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"
Jim’s solo shows and the shows with the band Humble Soul, are varied and yet have the cohesiveness of a writer with his own style that will keep you intrigued and taking part. As you listen to the songs you might recognize some feels of a rock song or an acoustic tune from one of his solo CDs. You will hear Humble Soul dabble in the blues while adding a hint of jazz to their music, but the heart of it is classic rock with that combination of acoustic and electric. Jim's main influences are acoustic with an edge (like America, Rick Elias, and Randy Stonehill) with classic and classical rock flavors (like Rush, Eagles, Yes, Doobie Brothers and Kansas).

Sounds Like: We have often heard we have our own sound.
We get all kinds of comments. Someone who just wants one style might say "Why don't you guys just play one kind of music?"
The funny part is right behind them are twenty other folks who say "Man, we love all the different styles of music! It just makes the whole concert so interesting!"
So, we just do what we do.
