Drew & The Blue

Garage-kept rock 'n' roll madness. Original parts. Est. 2018 in Reading, Pennsylvania. Drew & the Blue is Drew West, Taylor Lawrence, and Mandy Veloz.

Their latest release, Cigarette, calls back to a time when aesthetic was more important than health. Why not? It's a quick and easy listen recorded in Drew's Garage. Give it a spin.

The band takes inspiration from the sounds of garage and surf, along with many of the primordial rock 'n' roll icons. Their debut self-titled album was released in April 2022, and provided the band with a platform to begin touring the east coast of the U.S. Love You to Death, their first single off the album, is a tale of desperate love. Oogie Boogie, the second single, provides the sonic backdrop to an autumnal haunted house party. The Blue has opened for bands such as: Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds, Black Lips, Southern Culture on the Skids, Jon Spencer, Bloodshot Bill, Nekromantix, and Daikaiju. Stay tuned for new releases coming Fall '24.

The Commission

The Commission is a high-energy classic rock and jam cover band based in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. Formed in 1999 by a group of close friends, the quintet has spent over two decades becoming a celebrated staple of the local Main Line music scene.

Their sound seamlessly blends timeless classic rock hits with deep-cut jam band anthems, heavily inspired by legendary acts like The Grateful Dead, Phish, Talking Heads, and The Rolling Stones. Known for their eclectic setlists and a highly improvisational live style, the band delivers extended, spontaneous musical jams that make every performance unique.
