The Troubadour

Print this page for $6 admission

Singer-Songwriter Drew Davis grew up in Missouri performing in church and singing in any honky-tonk that would let him in the door. Drew's muse soon lead him west to Los Angeles, where he met outstanding multi-instrumentalists Jason Hawks on drums; Roger Malinowski on keyboards; Loren Ellis on guitar, banjo and mandolin; Michael Drake on guitar, harmonica and fiddle; and Mo Lavone on bass. One year later, the Band bears its own brand: West Coast with catchy lyrics, danceable songs, and an electrifying live show the like's country music might never have seen before.

In their first year together, The Drew Davis Band has created quite a buzz on the LA music scene and has sold-out the Troubadour on a few occasions. They have been called one of the best new country acts in the US by the prestigious national competition, the "Colgate Country Showdown," and are now one of six national finalists that will be competing for first-place on the televised finals January 17th in Florida.
