Drew Gibson at Waynesville Music

Like romantic dust, Drew Gibson's music draws on influence from the American days of country-blues and songwriters of the recent past. The finger-style guitarist from Virginia, commanding a pleasantly ragged baritone voice reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen, has garnered attention from national media such as USA Today and The Washington Post, for his intensely personal songs and stagecraft as a live performing storyteller.

In April 2019 Gibson released his fourth record entitled Shipbuilder. This followed his critically acclaimed concept album 1532 which was born from the healing journey on which Gibson embarked after the loss of his father on the Fourth of July 2012. While "1532" traced stories of Gibsons family from its roots in Scotland to the branches across Canada and the United States, Shipbuilder carries a theme of water throughout, how it flows in our lives, from a rising tide and a receding flood, to how a ship disappears over the horizon. Gibson's imagery invokes nostalgia and a means to carry on through the ups and downs of life, building dreams to stay above it all. Gibson is currently recording his 5th studio album due out later this year.

Please remember that this is a small venue in a guitar store, advance tickets are highly recommended since shows at Waynesville Music often sell out.
