About this concert
The Vallejo/Benicia/Solano County/Bay Area community lost a great journalist and philanthropist recently - Richard Freedman. There wasn't a cause he wouldn't lend a hand to, if asked. He was a friend to me and so many throughout the area. He went out of his way to support local musicians (such as myself) and many well-known comedians. There will be a “Celebration of Life” for Rich at Vallejo's Empress Theatre on Sunday May 5th - 3pm. Expect loads of music and comedy. He wouldn't want all the fuss, but I suspect he would love this show. Proceeds will go to help his wife and family through this difficult time. Hope to see you there!

Drew Harrison Biography
Have been a singer/songwriter all my adult life. Although inspired by great music across many genres, my first and foremost inspiration came from The Beatles and in particular, John Lennon.
Spent 1980-96 in original groups Tangent (1981-83), New Religion (1983-89) and Ted302 (1991-96). All enjoyed some humble acclaim and success one way or another. I acted for a time in the 90's as well (plays, television, movies). Good fun for sure, but my heart lies in music. After the Ted302 group disbanded in 1996, I headed to Europe with acoustic guitar in hand, as a solo performer, playing Ireland to the Czech Republic. My collection of original material from that period is found on my CD "Go It Alone".
Upon returning home from the Czech Republic, I founded a Beatles Tribute group called The Sun Kings (2000 - present). I now get to be the voice of John Lennon in a successful tribute band (no caricature or dress up for us - just music). Talk about a coming around full circle! I also have a solo acoustic show called "In The Spirit of Lennon" and still another full band called "Plastic Fauxno Band". Keeping busy enough, I expect to release new original material in 2018.
These original and tribute groups, along with my solo performances, have made my life as a singer/songwriter/musician/performer/producer simply fantastic.
