It’s looking like it’ll be busy summer of gigs, jams and community events! So nice to be back doing these things! Follow me @jacquiedrew (Facebook) or @jacquiedrewmusic (Instagram) on social media for the latest changes…some shows are outdoor, and therefore weather dependent!

Well, I guess I can’t stop the crazy love affair with music, if I’m nuts enough to start learning the violin! On Saturday, April 9th, 2022, I literally went down to Long and McQuade and rented a violin – and put one in my hands for the first time. It’s a rental right now, but … Continued
Finally, a song for the front line workers – be they nurses, doctors, teachers, caregivers, or the military. It hasn’t been an easy couple of years, and still they carry bravely onward. I am very proud to announce that a new single I wrote with my favourite co-writer and friend, Barbro Schoenberger, has released to … Continued
It’s been a good couple of weeks for your friend, the musical motorcycling mama… I had my CD Release show on Sept 25, and it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Lake Bonavista. Everyone sat out in lawn chairs in the soccer field just down the street, and I knew almost everyone in attendance. The … Continued
After reading about how exhausted and frustrated front-line workers are in hospitals (especially with the recent protests at hospitals), I decided to move my shows to where these folks could enjoy them on their breaks – right outside the hospitals on nearby green spaces. I’ll be doing these shows daily leading up to my CD … Continued
AUG 7, 2021 LOCATION ANNOUNCED: 7:00 pm start TONIGHT: I’ll be performing at Kinsmen Park in Strathmore, which is right across the street from PJ’s Diner (a great spot to grab dinner before the show). Bring your lawnchair!
Free Live Music in Parks and Green Spaces The pandemic changed the way I like doing shows. When all the venues closed and events were cancelled, I decided to start staging music from my front porch, and found it to be a delightful way to make new friends and meet the neighbours. A few weeks … Continued
After many an unpredictable delay due to COVID, a death, and more – this album is now live on digital channels worldwide. My first in 6 years – where did that time go? Produced by Juno-award-winning Canadian roots producer Steve Dawson with some of the finest musicians in Nashville (3/4 were Canadian – ha!) I … Continued
Well, it appears all outdoor and indoor gatherings are cancelled. What are you gonna do? I am thinking to play an un-promoted pop-up near a skating rink or two at some point this winter; weather and COVID permitting. If I do, I will live stream it to my Facebook page, so follow me there! Thanks … Continued
Well, Gary has done it again. Not only did the generator he got me in the spring start my performing all sorts of pop-up shows in unusual places (let alone leading to the entire Community Stompede!), he has now gotten me portable heaters, so I can play outside, even in the winter! I will soon … Continued
Howdy all! After producing and performing in weekly Community Stompede events in Lake Bonavista for 3 months, Gary and I are now taking the show to other communities. For those of you who haven’t heard about it yet, Community Stompede is an initiative to get a community’s talents out of living rooms and basements and … Continued
Dear Musicians and Entertainers: I am writing to you today to tell you that the “rules” have changed for entertainers since the pandemic. And in a good way! It used to be that you had to beg for gigs from local venues (who usually prefer the out of town acts). Or hope some booking agent … Continued
Well, WHAT AN AMAZING DAY! Gary and I are fully, completely and utterly thrilled at how Lake Bonavista’s FIRST Community Stompede went today!

I am having fun planning a “Community Stompede” walking tour in my home community of Lake Bonavista. Neighbours are putting up zany, home-grown entertainment all over the neighbourhood right from their own front lawns, so other people can walk around and get a happy-boost by seeing all the fun. The first one will be this … Continued
