Groove to live music out in Abbott Square with Driftr. Driftr is a modern blend of authenticity, soul and quality production that seeks to illuminate the peaks and development of the human condition. Combining hip-hop, soul music and electronic elements the resulting sound is thoughtful, genuine and intelligent with traces of grit.
