The Drewstein Project
This "band" is a project I started in the summer of 2008. I had riffs and ideas for songs that did not fit the style of music of any band that I was playing with, so I decided to make my own side project. Some songs are strictly for comedic purposes, and others are songs that I wrote for the sake of music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played live many a time. I am a former member of the band A Hill To Die Upon. I have played shows alongside bands such as Common Yet Forbidden, Crimson Moonlight, The Serpent Son, and many others. My favorite show was either playing the Bombworks Records 'Day of Metal' at Cornerstone, or playing the Picador in Iowa City.
