DREW BARRETT

Welcome to the official website for singer-songwriter Drew Barrett. Drew has been professionally recording music for more than two decades. His professional music career began by fronting the hard rock band Barakade. Barakade commercially released Volume 1 back in 95/96 on Magellan Records. Drew was the lead vocalist of that very successful band in the late 80's and 90's, and co-wrote all of the songs on their debut disc. After more than a decade of writing, recording and performing live with Barakade, and the success of Volume 1 in Europe, Japan and here in the US, it was time for the band to take a long hiatus. The members of Barakade parted ways in the late 90's and Drew decided to venture out on his own. Drew's next project was a solo debut titled "The Strolling Minstrel," which was released in 1999/2000. The critics overwhelmingly supported "The Strolling Minstrel," and there is plenty of music from that CD featured here on the site. Just follow the tabs above to sample and download music from The Strolling Minstrel. Or, you can check out the reviews section to see what the critics thought of his debut. Today, Drew is currently working on his third professional release, which will be a self-titled CD due out in the summer of 2011. A sneak peak of the first completed song off the record is "FeedTheHungry," which is featured here and available for a free download. Drew will give any and all proceeds generated from this song to charity and he hopes this song will bring awareness to the plight of the hungry, and, that someday world hunger will ultimately be eradicated completely from this earth. Keep checking back to the site for updates and more free music downloads.
