Running From The Finish Line, singer/guitarist Drew Sterchi's first album in 13 years, builds on his love of the blues and adds elements of everything from gospel to southern rock to jazz and funk to create a rich musical palette.
A native of Tennessee, Drew Sterchi started playing guitar at the age of 13 doing covers of Steppenwolf, Doors, Stones and Kinks. As every musician knows, there comes a moment that changes your playing. That epiphany came to Drew when he heard Chicago blues icon Michael Blumfield’s solo on the song Texas from Electric Flag’s album. “After that all my playing started tilting toward a more expressive blues style.”
While most blue eyed blues bands emulated their idols down to the note, Blues Tribe has only borrowed what was needed to form their sound. They have honed their unique style of original material which is a blend of acoustic and electric blues, R&B and classic rock…songs that juxtapose heartfelt lyrics with dynamic solos. Blues Tribe’s first album “Left Here With The Blues” as well as his soon to be released album “Running From The Finish Line” is a collection of songs that speaks of his own history. Songs that tell a personal story of his own experience and evolvement over the years. As you explore the lyrics and feel the emotional moments that grace his work, you will find that it is much more than just a blues album.
