Rep. Harris jazzes it up, hires recording artist

Posted by LegiStorm on May 26, 2016
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) has brought on a new staff assistant last month: professional jazz guitarist Drew Davidsen.

Davidsen has spent the last eight years touring and recording original contemporary smooth jazz. The Towson, Md. native has received a slew of musical awards and nominations. He was named Honoree at the 2011 Baltimore Jazz Awards and named one of the "Top 10 Hottest New Guitarists June 2008" by Guitar Player Magazine.

Rep. Harris appears to be a fan.

"Driving in a car with Congressman Andy Harris down 95 south listening to my song 95 south," Davidsen posted on social media earlier this week.

Of course, this new jazz man on the Hill has more to offer than just his musical chops. His repertoire includes years of working as a health, wellness and life coach and transformation specialist. He says after losing more than 120 pounds he became devoted to helping others "achieve all they can with their own creativity/health/wellness."

Davidsen has been especially interested in helping touring musicians like himself overcome the many challenges of life on the road.

He also serves on the board for Ghanian Mothers' Hope, a non-profit organization devoted to empowering future African leaders through the building and implementation of education and health programs and infrastructure.
