Drew Kennedy

is a Texas-based singer/songwriter whose vivid imagery and easygoing charm have made him a respected voice in Americana and country music.  Raised outside of Philadelphia, he grew up with a love of books, baseball, and creativity.  After playing college baseball in Virginia, he moved to New Braunfels, Texas, where he immersed himself in the region's rich songwriting community.

​

Over two decades, Kennedy has released eleven studio albums and authored a novel, Fresh Water in the Salton Sea, reflecting the literary depth that defines his work.  His songs blend road-worn wisdom with emotional subtlety, creating an intimate, cinematic atmosphere whether performed with a band or in a stripped-down acoustic setting.

​

His self-titled 2025 album marks a creative milestone.  Written entirely on his own and produced with longtime collaborator, Davis Naish, it stretches beyond traditional genre lines, mixing folk roots with modern textures, while staying true to his storytelling center.

​

A dedicated supporter of the songwriting world, Kennedy co-founded the Red River Songwriter's Festival and the Marathon Songwriter's Festival, both championing collaboration and craft.  As a writer, he has contributed songs to a wide range of country and pop artists.

​

Onstage, Kennedy is warm, thoughtful, and deeply engaging, connecting with audiences through sincerity and humor.  Guided by curiosity and honesty, he continues to evolve as an artist and share stories that resonate long after the last note fades.
