OXFORD – 6 On The Square (6OTS) proudly welcomes storytelling songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Drew Nelson to their stage on Saturday, Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Drew is a Michigan-born Navy veteran, fly fisherman, and world traveler. He writes and sings as an emotional witness to the gritty lives and soulful journeys of those he has met along the way, mixing Americana and roots-rock with traditional folk styles.

Traveling has led the astute writer, Drew Nelson, to not only gain a down-to-earth, ordinary man’s insight to life, but he has had a sprinkling of kismet cross his own path. When Drew toured across North America and Europe, performing solo, he opened for popular rock artists like Melissa Etheridge and Edwin McCain. He also opened for esteemed folk singers like Josh White Jr. and John Gorka.

Drew was part of Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s prestigious songwriting contest when he first met John Gorka in 2006. John found Drew backstage after his performance and told him how much his songs moved him. Since then, Drew shared the stage with John several times, including at such big events as the Kerrville Folk Festival.
