In this episode of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with Tennessee native Drew Green for a candid conversation about his journey through the country music world. From grinding out marathon sets at Tootsies on Lower Broadway to playing bigger stages and building a loyal fanbase, Drew shares how persistence, songwriting, and family support helped shape his path. The two discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted momentum just as Drew was starting to break through—and how he bounced back. Now, with the release of his long-awaited debut album, 'What You’re Looking For', Drew is staking his claim in the genre. The conversation highlights his evolution as a songwriter, his upcoming Opry debut, and his desire to remain grounded while aiming high.
