My Name is Drew originates from Newark, Delaware. The band is comprised of four members; Ethan Freeman, the one who sings pretty notes. Curtis Jackson, the one who never stops his guitar solo. Zachary Schroeder, the one with very funky bass grooves. And Rob Graves, the one who hits things for fun and calls it drumming. The formation of the band was pretty basic.

My Name is Drew originates from Newark, Delaware. The band is comprised of four members; Ethan Freeman, the one who sings pretty notes. Curtis Jackson, the one who never stops his guitar solo. Zachary Schroeder, the one with very funky bass grooves. And Rob Graves, the one who hits things for fun and calls it drumming. The formation of the band was pretty basic. Zach and Rob had been in a "for kicks and giggles" band for a short time. This band had shown Zach and Rob that they really liked playing together. It wasn't until Zach started to share his tastes in music that Rob realized that they both had a lot more in common then just having fun playing music. Zach invited Rob to jam with a friend of his from school. The three got together and played a few songs, they jammed out a bit, and decided to come back the next week. The next week Ethan was introduced to the equation. Because Curtis was better at the guitar then at the microphone it was an easy decision to make Ethan the lead singer. Now that they had the core composition of the band was formed and they had a few songs down, they were about to walk into the hardest decision of the band's career... the band name. After a long and emotion argument that lasted the entirety of ten minutes, Curtis' brother walked into the room and proudly announced, "My Name is Drew!" It stuck. The conception of the band is only a small part of the band bio, but the story behind everything the band is, does, and all is an on going experiment. To condense the first year of MNID's existence would take up too much of anyone's time. The key things might be the tight friendship the band has. Drama ends countless garage bands so soon that they never get anywhere, or it wrecks a well matured group from stardom, but the friendship that has formed in the band keeps them up for the challenge of the musician's career. Just over a year of conception the band has recorded and released their full length debut album. The band did all of the recording on their own, with what meager equipment they could get their hands on. So there. You have two guitars, three vocals, a bass, drums, and some help from other local musicians and you have My Name is Drew.
