Folk rock artist sings in Harmony
HARMONY — Drew Schofield, a top 10 finalist from the Guitar Center Singer-Songwriter 2 competition, will perform Saturday at The Center of Harmony.
Born to a singer/songwriter mother and a church-going, hymn-singing father, Schofield developed a love for music early.
His first instrument was drums, and he briefly pursued an undergraduate degree in percussion. Exposure to jazz in college sparked an interest in a broader spectrum of musical influences.
He began writing original music during his college years and performed with friends as he fashioned his songwriting skills.
“Away We Go,” his first full-length album, features an acoustic-driven mix of folk rock with pop overtones.
Soon after “Away We Go” was released, Schofield was hand-selected by Grammy Award winning producer John Shanks as a top 10 finalist from more than 13,000 entrants in Guitar Center’s Singer-Songwriter 2 nationwide competition.
The Center of Harmony is at 253 Mercer St. Doors open at 7 p.m. The show starts at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $12.50 in advance or $16 at the door. Children under 16 are admitted free. Call 724-400-6044 or visit thecenterofharmony.com.
