Drew Angus Long Form Bio
Rooted in nostalgia but reaching for something timeless, Drew Angus writes songs that feel like they’ve always been there. Raised on the sounds of Tom Petty, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones, Angus blends vintage influence with a contemporary sensibility, drawing comparisons to artists like John Mayer, James Taylor, and Chris Stapleton.
After appearing as a finalist on American Idol, where Jennifer Lopez called him “a real talent,” Angus steadily built a reputation as a compelling live performer. His ability to connect emotionally through song and story has earned him stages alongside icons including Stevie Nicks, Harry Styles, and Nile Rodgers. He’s also opened for modern chart-toppers like Noah Kahan and performed the National Anthem for both the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants.
Angus' independently released catalog showcases his knack for lyrical intimacy and melodic craftsmanship. His standout track “Made to Love You,” originally written for a friend’s wedding, has surpassed a million streams and become a fan-favorite anthem of love and devotion. He also made waves online with a soulful cover of Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” alongside Marc Broussard, which has racked up over 4 million views on Broussard’s YouTube channel.
Whether he’s playing to a packed theater or an intimate room, Drew Angus brings honesty, heart, and a voice that pulls you in. It’s a night of connection, stories, and songs that feel like they were written just for you.
