BIOS: DREW CREEL

Drew began playing guitar at age 14, shortly after enrolling in high school. Throughout most of high school and early college, Drew focused on jazz and played with many local jazz orchestras and combos. It wasn't until his senior year in high school that he started listening to progressive metal bands, and after a year or two of that he decided to give up on jazz and focus on progressive music.

After playing in several progressive rock and metal bands in the Austin and Houston area, Drew answered an ad in the local newspaper placed by a keyboard player looking for a band. The keyboard player was Charles Shultz, and after a brief stint with San Antonio band Divine Ruins, Drew and Chuck decided to form a new, more powerful, more progressive band...
