About Dré
““I’ve always felt drawn to California—to the sounds of Laurel Canyon.”
Dré Anders dream has led her down many roads, starting at the age of 3 in her home country of Sweden, where she sang her first solo in church, to traveling the world with her musical family singing at festivals and churches. From the Christian Contemporary world, to pop and rock, she settled into the acoustic community, where she created Dré and the Collective. Her debut CD, My California, where all her influences came together, garnered her a #1 on Sweden’s Independent Singles chart.
She draws on Westcoast Folk, where she spent her most formative teenage years, and Gospel--creating soulful melodies with warm harmonies.
She has a knack for being able to pull artists together and produce shows, which led to her being asked to lead the acclaimed Dré and the Gospel Collective on Sunday mornings at DelFest Music Festival for many years, which then led to collaborations with musicians such as The Travelin’ McCourys, Shane Theriot (Hall & Oates), Sierra Hull, Ronnie Bowman, The Gibson Brothers and the King of Bluegrass himself—Del McCoury. She lends her voice to Del McCoury & Friends, leads the successful project at DelFest-Return to Laurel Canyon-and is currently working on a new project with producer/engineer David Ferguson.
