Drew Foust

Drew Foust makes music that feels like it’s been lived in. A natural soul singer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and prolific songwriter, Drew makes music that exists somewhere between a juke joint’s last call and the first light of Sunday morning. It’s gritty, spiritual, and deeply human. Southern soul with a modern heartbeat. Backed by The Wheelhouse, Drew delivers a brand of “Southern Soul N’ Roll” built on deep grooves, raw feeling, and unfiltered authenticity. Together since 2019, they’ve played hundreds of shows at venues, clubs, and events all across North Carolina and the East Coast, including stops in Nashville, New York City, Atlanta, and New Orleans. Notably, Drew & The Wheelhouse have performed at nationally acclaimed music festivals, including FloydFest, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, and the North Carolina Folk Fest. They have also been official opening acts for The Wallflowers, Anders Osborne, The Rumble, and Cedric Burnside. Drew has also collaborated in the studio and onstage with friends like Charlie Hunter, Sam Fribush, DaShawn Hickman, Maia Kamil, Jive Mother Mary, and Jay Faires. His 2022 album Good Thing, released on Charlie Hunter’s SideHustle label, drew heavily from the golden era of Memphis soul. His latest record, The Beauty of It All, is his most personal work yet - ten songs pulled from a life lived wide open, full of grit, humor, heartbreak, and hope. Drewfoustmusic.com
