Drew Sutherland is a native of Pocatello, Idaho and has been playing trombone since the age of 12, when his middle school made him choose between playing an instrument and singing.
Since those halcyon days of middle school band, he has gone on to earn his Bachelor of Music in Trombone Performance from Idaho State University, a Master of Music in Trombone Performance and Pedagogy from Oklahoma State University, and is currently working on his Doctor of Musical Arts in Trombone Performance from the University of North Texas under the tutelage of Natalie Mannix. He has been a teaching fellow at UNT since 2013. He performs with the Center Brass Quintet, the North Texas Trombone Consortium, the University of North Texas Symphonic Band, and on his free time he works as a maintenance man for Cumberland Presbyterian Children’s Home in Denton, Texas.
In between his ambitious academic endeavors, Drew found the time to become a freelance recording engineer and videographer. Due to his dedication to excellence in music and production, he became a Videographer and Audio Engineer for Drive35 Productions in 2017. He has worked with great clients such as Lumedia, University of North Texas, Restore Roofing and Remodeling, and so on.
He loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and backpacking. He loves backpacking in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. He is happiest playing trombone, wearing suits, and trying to convince others that winter camping in Oklahoma really isn’t that bad once you get used to it.
