“Driftwood draws you into their world by mixing clever lyrics with beautiful melodies. They delight listeners and leave them begging for one more song.” -Michael Kinney-WSKG TV
"Driftwood is a band with a multi-talented blend of musicians who bring traditional American roots music to a whole new level, creating a truly unique sound by blending old time folk with modern and world music". -Kayla MacLachlan-Upstate Live
Incorporating acoustic instruments and elements of Old Time, Blues, Jazz and Modern music, these Shanty Rockers have put together a Traditional/Original show that’s nothing short of world class music. Driftwood’s virtuosity is matched by their versatility and they are able to play sweet and sultry ballads with as much drive and passion as an up-tempo whiskey-fuelled romp. For these reasons, Driftwood has been in high demand by Upstate audiences of all persuasions.
