I love music and I have been playing for a long time, since I was 15 years old. I am a self taught musician. I have been writing and performing my original music from the beginning of my career. I find myself these days especially, focusing on the lyrical content of my songs. I have been influenced by such artists as Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, David Gray, and Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sproket. I have always felt a connection to the folk scene and have created my songs to blend in with this genre of music.

We can't think of a better way to kick off our Anniversary weekend! The DBG features the multi-talented Drew Bordeaux on guitar, vocals and electric fiddle, Amanda Ruzza on bass/vocals, Matt Graff on drums and Alex Nolan on guitar. Drew exudes an energy from the stage that is exhilarating, uplifting and downright contagious. Teamed with this talented group, it's ELECTRIC!

NY music reviewer Kevin Johnston wrote this about Drew: "His guitar work is the real deal. A lot of players have forgotten... what the rock solo is for, but Drew knows, and he uses it to take the music to a new level. And just to make sure you stay interested, he switches to electric violin."

Aside from his incredible musical talents, Drew is still first and foremost a songwriter. The band is currently recording their first full-length album, and we'll hear many of their original tunes tonight.
