We are very excited to welcome back Drew Jurecka to the CBBC 2023!
Catch him this year at The Night Guy Came To Town AND at The Southampton Inn for the Friday Night Jazz & Blues event!
Currently up for a Record of the Year Grammy for his string arranging, playing and engineering work for pop sensation Dua Lipa. Drew has produced and recorded countless arrangements for artists including Hailee Steinfeld, Donovan Woods, Jill Barber, Bahamas, Rose Cousins, Royal Wood, Dermot Kennedy, Bülow and Ron Sexsmith.
Classically trained but comfortable in all genres, Jurecka performs primarily on violin, but also viola, saxophone, clarinet and mandolin and most recently on bandoneon as a member of the Payadora Tango Ensemble, for whom he has also composed, arranged and produced.
After completing his bachelors of music at the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music, Jurecka spent 5 years touring with Jeff Healy. He is a well established member of the Toronto jazz scene, and an in demand session musician, arranger and producer. He has performed on literally hundreds of albums for artists such as Alessia Cara, Chantal Kreviazuk, Jesse Cook and Buffy Sainte-Marie. He has composed for film and television and his orchestral arrangements have been performed by groups such as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.
