Influences
I've had so many incredible musicians influence me over the years...too many to list. Some you might hear in the music...others not so much...but they've all had a hand in shaping the music. Here are just a handful 'cause there's too many to list: Sheryl Crow, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Norah Jones, Patty Griffin, The Black Crowes, Sarah MacLachlan, Coldplay, The Band, Aerosmith, Joan Osborne, Sting, Bruce Hornsby, Bonnie Raitt, Diana Krall, Radiohead, Robert Plant, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss,Foo Fighters,Tori Amos, U2....countless others...

Myspace Backgrounds
Born in Sweden and now a resident of the US, Dre is the product of a very famous musical family.Her parents graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm Sweden, her father was honored with a postage stamp, and the family toured in churches across the world for most of her childhood.But her search for her own musical identity took her down many roads, from being part of a pop group in LA to experimenting with Blues and Rock.
Dre's Awakening's sound has been described as Norah Jones meets Allison Krauss and Patty Griffin. It's also been called "Hard Folk" music with Dre being labeled a bit of an activist as she tackles subjects in her lyrics that not many people want to touch, to raise awareness--but with a very accessible sound. Dre is joined by Shane Theriot (best known for his work with Boz Scaggs and the Neville Brothers) on guitar, who's also a composer and lends his expertise as a band leader, Josh Shilling on piano and B3, along with other incredible musicians that float in and out...like the amazing Traveling McCoury's (Ronnie McCoury, Rob McCoury, Jason Carter and Alan Bartram). Together they are creating a sound that's fresh and yet still reminiscent of the past.
