With great happiness, we officially welcome Drew deWaard as Facing Winter's new bassist. After a few practices, it became apparent that Drew has the skills, knowledge, dedication, and passion to be a great fit in our musical family.

So who is this guy? He's 27, grew up in Bartlett, lives in Chicago, and is a student at the Keller Graduate School of Management. He's been a guitarist for 14 years, and a bassist for the last five years. He plays a sweet five-string. His number-one pet peeve is wet, muddy sandals.

Chad says people should ask some random questions to get to know Drew a little bit. So comment your question below and maybe you'll get an answer. And you might as well friend-request Drew too. Ask and add, ask and add.
