About Me

Drew first found his musical voice while growing up in Brownwood, Texas. He wrote his first song in the second grade and continued to dream of a life in music all the way through his years at San Angelo Central High. A grown up Drew moved on to Waco and McLennan Community College, where he joined forces with some friends and his brother, noted guitarist Tim Womack, to form alt-country band Sons of the Desert.After paying its requisite dues on the famed Texas honky tonk circuit, the Sons landed a record deal in Nashville in 1996.Drew honed his songwriting skills and unmistakable sound on the band's Top 10 hit, "Whatever Comes First." Follow-up singles "Hand of Fate" and "Leaving October" further cemented the Sons' reputation as a band with something to say and a unique way tosay it. In 2000, Drew also lent his voice to fellow Texan Lee Ann Womack's crossover hit, "I Hope You Dance," which won the single of the year trophy for both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.During his years in Nashville, Drew grew into a respected songwriter who worked with some of MusicCity's best craftsman. He collaborated with his heroes and influences, including Rodney Crowell, Radney Foster and Kevin Welch. Drew also co-wrote Kenny Chesney's No. 1 hit, "She's Got It All," with noted hitmaker Craig Wiseman.In the midst of a non-stop schedule of songwriting, recording and touring, Drew somehow found time to add "dad" to his credits. In 2002, he and Tara, his wife of 10 years, welcomed son Max to the family.After 13 years fronting Sons of the Desert, Drew is now tackling the music business on his own terms. He released his first solo album, "Drew Womack," in 2004 and is currently working on an acoustic album slated for a Winter 2006/2007 release. Drew his wife Tara and son Max, returned to Texas in 2003 and now call the Texas Hill Country home.
