Art Walk Late Show with Simon Drew

Join us at The Sanctuary Studio for another spectacular Art Walk performance by studio owner Simon Drew and his band.

Simon Drew is a vocalist, trumpeter, poet, and educator whose work bridges jazz tradition, contemplative practice, and artistic inquiry. Known for his smooth vocal tone and lyrical trumpet style, he is recognized as an elegant interpreter of the Great American Songbook, drawing inspiration from Frank Sinatra and West Coast jazz artists such as Chet Baker. Alongside his jazz work, Simon creates meditative and experimental music, blending piano, didgeridoo, and folk instruments in original recordings.

A dedicated educator, Simon teaches voice and multiple instruments, emphasizing the soul-enriching power of music. He is the author of The Poet & The Sage, a work of poetry and prose exploring the inner life and the search for enduring truths. As the longtime host of The Walled Garden (formerly The Practical Stoic), Simon has spent years engaging classical philosophy through conversations with professors, philosophers, theologians, poets, and cultural leaders. In 2025, he founded The Sanctuary Studio for the Arts & Humanities, a tranquil space in Downtown Santa Ana devoted to public engagement with the living traditions of the arts and humanities.
