DANIEL BLUE: MEET DREW SCHOT >>>

Drew Schot was born in Orange County, Calif. Although he has lived in Washington since 1969, he didn't land in our fair city until 1983 where he was a part of the first arts renaissance that occurred in this town, much of which ended up feeding the grunge movement in Seattle. 

Drew is an unlimited source of information about all sorts of things ranging from music to taxes.  He has been in hundreds of bands including High Planes Drifter and Pollution, and sometimes pretends to have played bass on early Fugazzi albums.  Currently he is playing for high-ticket bands such as www.myspace.com/jhthepainkillers">The Painkillers, Community For Public Safety and Check Please, which he is calling his "discord project."

When he is not making music Drew is probably maintaining his painting and plaster company or mastering coffee in the morning at Black Water Café. 

I like Drew because he understands his life is not being lived in vain.   Good bad and ugly, he is unafraid of anything he has done and seems unafraid of anything he has yet to do.  His encouragement makes me think of him like a big brother, and I often see people walking away from Drew with a smile and a sparkle.
