Drew's original band, "The Monks," played mostly [[Bob Dylan]] tunes. Two years later Drew coined a new name, "Ivy Peebles Medicine Show Band," to recognize the late justice of the peace who had performed the marriage of the band's one-time drummer, Max Kees. Early gigs were mostly for Minden High School after-football game dances. They often were paid $25 (203 in 2019 dollars). The band continued as Drew went to college and law school.

Margaret Martin summed up Drew this way: "Music is in his blood, but he is serious about his law career and proud that he is a fifth generation lawyer/judge."
