Drew Womack first found his musical voice while growing up in Brownwood, Texas. He wrote his first song in the second grade and dreamed of a life in music all the way through his years at San Angelo Central High. As a young adult, Drew moved on to Waco and McLennan Community College, where he joined forces with friends in alt-country band Sons of the Desert.
SOD paid its requisite dues on the famed Texas honky tonk circuit, and then landed a record deal in Nashville in 1996. Drew honed his songwriting skills and sound on the group's Top 10 hit, "Whatever Comes First." Follow-up singles "Hand of Fate" and "Leaving October" further cemented the Sons' reputation as a band with something to say and a unique way of saying it. In 2000, Drew also lent his voice to fellow Texan Lee Ann Womack's crossover smash, "I Hope You Dance," which won the single of the year trophy for both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.
During his years in Nashville, Drew grew as a respected songwriter while working with some of his heroes and influences, including Rodney Crowell, Radney Foster and Kevin Welch.
After 13 years fronting Sons of the Desert, Drew is now tackling the music business on his own terms, releasing his first solo album, Drew Womack, in 2004. Drew his wife Tara and son Max, returned to Texas in 2003 and now call the Texas Hill Country home.
