Influences
While settling up at a register in a music store in Florida a few years back, the clerk gave me the honor as that day's most diverse purchased, Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad and NOFX's Punk in Drublic. So you go figure.....Springsteen,Dylan,N.Young,Zevon,Petty,Violent Femmes,Old 97's,DBT's,Robbie Fulks, Clash, JR Cash,J Geils,Mike Ness,NOFX,Artful Dodger,Cowslingers, Jim Carroll......too many hours in front of an idiot box, the feel of a crisp 7 iron from 148 out,...apathy sweet apathy

My name is Drew Clair, songwriter from Northeast Ohio. Through an extraordinary set of circumstances, I have been fortunate enough to have played with some of our area's more accomplished musicians. After being a founding member of Tumbleweed Jo (1998-2000) and Woodshed Mercy (2004-2007), I have decided to abandon the standard band format and focus on writing and recording my music. Some of these will be demos from as far back as '97, and newer ones that were recorded at Clint Holley's Audio Spectrum Recording studio, over the past year. The songs will be released under the name of Open Range Torch Songs, a title snagged from a song I had written and recorded with Woodshed Mercy. Hopefully, there will be many recordings to follow under the ORTS domain. Of course we'll sneak in some songs from Tha'Shed from time to time. I hope you enjoy!
Keep it going! Enjoyed your show at The Fryer!..I know you hear it all the time, but check us out, come and spend some time around our campfire! ............... Your friends from Cleveland!
