Drew Foust & The Wheelhouse
A natural soul singer and blues musician, Drew Foust’s music sounds like it’s made between the bleary hours of a rock bar’s last call and a southern preacher’s early morning prayer. Handmade, self-made and arranged in dramatic structure, the music is lyrical and rhythm-driven—always pushing a feeling forward.
His second full-length and latest release, “Good Thing,” offers 8 tracks inspired by Memphis soul music from the 60s and 70s. Drew Foust & The Wheelhouse takes this raw soul and R&B on the road with notable plays at Shakori Hills Festival, Boonerang Music & Arts Festival, and FloydFest 24 in addition to opening for The Wallflowers in Winston-Salem, NC.

“Wheelhouse is collaborative. So there are these intersections where influences get stacked or merged. Having an ensemble of interchangeable musicians is so much fun. Some nights we have stew and some nights we have gumbo.”
-Drew Foust for ‘Yes! Weekly’ (2021)
