EM Drew's latest release, Bohemian Blues, is an eclectic collection of Jazzy Blues with a touch of Folk and Country. This band creates songs with subtle original rhythms reminiscent of albums such as; Savoy Brown, Raw Sienna; Buffalo Springfield, Retrospective; and the Grateful Dead. EM Drew creates their sound with weekly practice jams that reflect participating musicians' mood at the time. Each song's style evolves though the weeks and the months, until we finally pick a session recording. We polish it up a little in George's Kitchen Studio and the sweltering Hot Box Studio. Then we sort through our latest stash of songs, working together to select the 'chosen ones'. Using minimal effects and very little dynamics we try to keep the sound alive, not metalized. Here are 14 songs we have created for you.

Wallstreet Blues is a social, musical blog. It takes on many forms and styles. Predominantly blues, these songs originate with many different instruments trying to get as relaxed as possible. Guitars & Vocals join in to tell a few tales at a Saturday night jam down at the local bar. Erick brings his harp to play, as does VioLynn, together they weave an emotional tapestry enveloping the blues. With George on his keyboards/bass, Ted lays down a steady beat with his drums. Then Tom and Dave trade off guitar licks, Mike pounds out a rhythm on his guitar and sings a few ditties about life, love, and the american dream. Al joins us occasionally with his Clarinet (when he isn't off flying helicopters or traveling.) Check out Tom Munill taking his turn singing on his song "Blonde American Beauty", also, Erick takes his turn singing "Funkytown". Sadly, Lynn was needed for some special jamming with the man upstairs, she left us August of 2011. Anyone who met Lynn was lucky; she was a friend, a great musican, and now, an Angel. Hopefully, she can turn things around a little from up there. The world needs a change.
