The following quotes come from a variey of people. If you have heard Drew's music, by listening to one of his recordings or by attending one of his performances, send your quote to drewvervan@drewvervan.com . "A musician whose passion for live performance is undeniable . . . and undeniably contagious." -- Darin Lang, "Rail Down" drummer. "The strength and tone of Drew Vervan's voice brings to mind early Billy Joel, and his energy on stage is that of an undisciplined two-year-old. In other words, his shows are really good AND really fun." -- Kristin Putchinski, "Ellen Cherry" singer/guitarist. "Drew Vervan is a veritable Taliesin of Towson. The bardic tradition flourishes with bleached flair in the stout-lubricated Celtic taprooms of Baltimore." Rajesh David, Tanzanian born "Dysphagia" frontman. "Drew Vervan is a sensitive, clever songwriter with his roots firmly implanted in, but not limited to, the folk tradition." -- Kirsten Walsh, "Rail Down" bassist/singer. "Drew, is a must see... I went to hear him play the fiddle and was totally surprised, amazed and entertained by his vocal abilities. To be honest, I didn't even know he sang, and by the way he never played the fiddle..." -- Jeffrey Hinson, "Cuttin' Grass" singer/guitarist. "Delightful, refreshing, engaging, wholehearted. Vigorously entertaining, raucous vitality, acoustic notoriety." -- Geoff Godfrey, former GM of Borders Book & Music, Towson, Md. "I can't think of any regional artist who combines more raw talent, energy, wit, and humor on stage than Drew. Anyone who goes to a Drew show and isn't entertained is a sad sad person with a lot of problems who ought to consider therapy in the very near future." -- Lucien Walsh, "Rail Down" guitarist/singer. "There's an engaging verve in his playing--and a sly twinkling eye-wink of mischievousness beneath his clear precise singing--which suggest he's not all Elfish charm: here be dragons a plenty!"--T. Amor Phibeaus. "A musical genre-jumping genie from a bottle of Bushmills" --Stephan B. Uther, Towson University student.
