FOFA Presents: Drew Hale

Friends of the Fine Arts at Suttons Bay Schools was formed by a group of community members who wish to promote the arts in schools. They support and promote existing arts programs and are always looking for ways to help students develop relationships with the arts and artists in their community. One way they had done this previously was by putting on concerts in the fantastic auditorium at Suttons Bay High School in the early 2000s. After a few years' hiatus, the concert series is coming back in 2018!

Influenced by Texas roots and artists such as Reckless Kelly and Eric Church, the Drew Hale Bands music pays homage to the red dirt country and southern rock scenes, as well as paints a picture of their love for the people and culture of Michigan, where the band calls home. The Drew Hale Band can be found playing throughout the Midwest, promoting their latest album, Roots and Wings (including the single, Pieces, featuring Vince Gill). They have shared stages and played festivals with some of Nashvilles biggest recording artists, including Tim McGraw, Frankie Ballard, Dierks Bentley, Canaan Smith, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Cassadee Pope, Scotty McCreery, LoCash, William Michael Morgan, RaeLynn, Drew Baldridge, The Railers, and Adam Sanders. Whether on an intimate stage at one of the many wineries or breweries throughout Michigan, rocking a bar on a Saturday night, or playing festivals such as Common Ground (Lansing, MI) or Arts, Beats, & Eats (Royal Oak, MI), you can count on an eclectic show that delivers a dynamic combination of originals and covers that bridge the gap between country, roots rock, and blues.

All proceeds benefit the Fine Arts Programs at Suttons Bay Public Schools.
