Drea and the Holy Lowdown Band
Artist Bio
Festival Stage, 6:00pm
AD's Notes:
Back in 2006, I barely knew Drea; I knew her name, and I knew her voice, but until she was chosen as PFF Emerging Artist 2006, I had no idea the love and passion and strength that characterizes everything she does. It's a pleasure to have her back on the mainstage!
Bio:
Drea is Folk You. Her presence as a live performer and songwriter pushes the envelope of traditional folk music creating a Folk You experience, original, and engaging. Her sound melds folk, rock, country and pop. She has grown as an artist out of Peterborough Ontario's strong musical traditions to become an international emerging artist. Drea's performances include the Skagen Music Festival in Denmark, the Paulusfeesten and Deerlycke festivals in Belgium, the Back Meadows Music and Peterborough Folk festival. Her music has taken her across Canada twice with tours from the Yukon to Newfoundland, and through the Netherlands, France and Denmark in the fall of 2007. She toured Northern Canada in the winter of 2008 and headlines the Folkwoods Festival in Holland and Paulusfeesten festival in Belgium in August 2008. You will wake up with Drea's songs in your head, she has just released her 6th independent album "LIVELY" July 2008.
