Drew Landry's catalog of music is rooted in cane fields of Southwest Louisiana & the Hill Country of Texas, but the Cajun-born troubadoour now lives in Northern Montana. His songwriting has garnered the endorsement of Kris Kristofferson, who called Landry's song Last Man Standing, “The best he’s heard in 30 years”. Landry has also shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Johnny Winter, Lazy Lester, Billy Joe Shaver and countless others legends who are no longer with us.
Drew Landry's first album "Keep What's Left” was defined as “The Equivalent to Lomax’s field recordings for the 21st Century “, by americana.uk. His second album earned him a spot on Live Nation's, "One's to Watch". After the BP oil spill Landry partnered with Warner Bros to release “the BP Blues”. This benefited those who got sick cleaning dispersed oil. He then joined forces with an all-star group of Louisiana Musicians at Dockside studio and partnered with Dr. John. They revived Bobby Charles' environmental songs with "Solution to Pollution EP". His third album, Sharecropper's Whine has been deemed, "a Cajun inspired Americana Masterwork" by critics and led to several European tours.
While finishing a documentary film, “The Restoration”, Landry was in a head-on collision with an 18 Wheeler. The troubadour moved to the Blackfeet Reservation to heal from his injuries and now resides East of Glacier National Park. His current single, “Hey Sister” that benefits mmipmt.com, a reporting portal and database for missing persons from Tribal Nations in Montana. The song will be on the upcoming album, “Exiles”. Landry will be touring this summer to support the cause & the new recording.
