Driving and evocative original hip-hop/rock inspired jazz from this Portland-based drummer.
Bio / Background
Drew Shoals strives to say something new with his drums. Building off the foundation of his rock and funk origins, this Portland, OR native is furthering the musical dialogue of modern-jazz drumming. Calling on the primal pulse of hip-hop and the tension and release of mix-metered fusion, Shoals incorporates his love for the eclectic into every beat. The Willamette Week wrote, "Drew Shoals is possibly the most talented young drummer in the Northwest." Since earning a BA in African-American Studies from Whitman College and receiving the Outstanding Drum Soloist award at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in 2005, Shoals has been fully immersed in the broader Portland music scene. He was Jazz Society of Oregon's Featured Musician in October 2006. Some of the artists and bands he works with include Pat Monahan (Train), Nu Shooz Orchestra, Tony Furtado, Curtis Salgado, Dan Balmer, Stephanie Schniderman, John Nastos, and Ben Darwish.
