He guides his listeners through a ceremonial celebration of life through song. Usually barefoot, and always bold, he commands the spotlight with his unique singing, songwriting and instrumental prowess. It’s truly always a pleasure to be entertained by & work with Drew Rouse.” ~Jaclyn Strong, Owner of Can of Jam and The Codega, Los Angeles, California.
