| Drew Nelson Every generation has its poets; the writers, musicians, and lyricists who capture the spirit and longings of their time. Those who give expression to our own personal memories and dreams as though they know us. They tell our stories, giving us the words we need to celebrate or let go. That is the soil in which singer/songwriter Drew Nelson has been toiling. Drew's songs sound like the rest of us feel. They are dazed, angry, amazed and climbing. http://www.drewnelson.net/ Ticket Prices: $12 General, $10 Seniors & Students with student ID's two admissions for $10, $9 Members, $3 2-12 year olds.
