Drake is recognized as an outreach educator for the Great Lakes and performed for many nature centers and environmental organizations including Greenpeace and the World Sing-Out for Peace.
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry named Drake the Folk Music Artist of the Year and Family Music Artist of the Year. Drake has been called a “gentle troubadour” and an “elemental folksinger”.
