Drew Gregory
The stage is set! We’re excited to welcome award-winning Alberta country artist Drew Gregory to Barley & Smoke!
A farmer, singer and songwriter from Standard, Alberta, Drew brings authentic storytelling, down-to-earth charm and plenty of country-rock energy to every performance.
Over the course of his career, Drew has performed with Paul Brandt, Cody Johnson, Tenille Townes, Reklaws, and Jade Eagleson, and the list goes on. He was a part of some major country music festivals like Big Valley Jamboree, Bud Country Fever, Country Thunder in Calgary and Arizona, and Dauphin Country Fest.
He made his debut at Nashville North during the 2015 Calgary Stampede and has been a staple there ever since. On September 12, he’ll be bringing the party to ENMAX Park!
Come for the incredible food and drinks, stay for the live music, and help support children and families affected by childhood cancer.
