Drew Nelson is a Canadian blues singer, songwriter, guitarist and recording artist.

His professional career commenced in the 1970s, particularly as a result of his association with the late blues singer and harmonica player Back Alley John[2] (d. 2006), where Nelson was the lead guitarist in and co-founder of the Back Alley John Revue.

[3][5] Nelson achieved early success as a solo artist when "Nothing to Show", an award-winning song originally recorded with the Back Alley John Revue[6] and later recorded by the Drew Nelson Band, was selected for inclusion in the 1991 Saturday Night Blues compilation album of Canadian blues music.

[7] During this period, Nelson and his band played and recorded with Canadian blues artist Dutch Mason.
