PHX
Drew Cooper was born in Springfield, IL, and his Midwest upbringing and values have followed him ever since. When he was 11, his family moved to Tucson, AZ, where he came into contact with the Southwest culture and lifestyle. Heavily influenced by Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, The Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Chris LeDoux, he has managed to find his own sound in a sea of similarity.
A storyteller with a graveled voice and a stage presence that’s difficult to forget, Cooper is a quickly adopted brother in the Texas Red Dirt music scene, where your songwriting goods is your only true currency. His street cred in Arizona laid a fast track into Texas, where he spends half his time living, writing and performing among his tale-spinning brethren.
