Imagine a musician who can cover your favourite song like she wrote it herself, stage a jam in a nearby soccer field that brings a whole neighbourhood together, and then rock out a bunch of convicted murderers in your local prison - that's Jacquie Drew. With a style described as a hybrid of Johnny Cash, Sheryl Crow, and Sandra Bullock, Jacquie has been performing professionally for over two decades, giving her an aura of authentic musicianship and laid-back self-mockery. A multi-instrumentalist, she backed up many bands on vocals, banjo, keyboard, and even accordion before fronting her own act. Releasing four albums of original music, her albums have reached Canada’s National Folk-Roots-Blues top-ten chart twice, including her most recent, “Lifelong Truth”, in 2021. Recordings aside, it’s live performances where Jacquie stands out. A comedic storyteller who performs solo, self-accompanied on guitar, harmonica, piano, and even her live-loop station (to layer backup harmonies, and lead guitars), Jacquie certainly does her share of corporate events, fancy hotels and popular music venues. But she also loves to perform where her music can make a difference - which is why you’ll also often find her at care homes, outreach centres, hospital green spaces, rural dance halls and legions. She takes requests, gets audiences moving, and always searches for just the song to make everyone feel understood.
