With theatre friends Dakota Thorn and Nina Martin singing backup, Drew quickly recorded and released the EP via limited edition pink cassettes in August of 2022. The title song "Pop Lauderdale" celebrates the highs and lows of meeting attractive people in public places.

Over a car windows down chorus, Eberly dreams, "it's just her and me, and my Grand Prix / we'll take it all the way, out to the shore / I'll wait tables and we'll end the culture war."

Backed by a Greater Columbus Arts Council grant, Drew recorded his debut album at Secret Studio in March 2021 with Keith Hanlon. The majority of the eight songs are recorded as first takes, songs he wrote in his Columbus basement during the pandemic. Album opener and live staple "Party of Truces" lays out Eberly's performance thesis: "It's just a Friday night, midlife folk show / we got the sitter 'till ten then we gotta go."

Bailiwick concerns matters of geography: Philadelphia neighborhoods, the Miami County Fair, Yellow Springs, and the various streets of Drew’s twenty years in Columbus. Recorded in two sessions (electronic and acoustic), Drew returned to Secret Studio and realized this batch of originals with Kyle Sowash on bass and Keith Hanlon on drums. Dakota Thorn and James Becker also guest on tracks
