Drew Holcomb, originally from Memphis and currently residing in Nashville, TN, formed his band Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors in 2006 and was an early adopter of the term "Americana".
Holcomb's discography is impressive, extending as far back as 2005, and has a nearly consistent output of a 2-year album cycle. His most recent record, Dragons, was released in August of 2019. Holcomb's musical identity is far from the acoustic singer-songwriter. His adoption of big percussion lead sound, rich production value, and the embrace of his larger-than-life warm voice make his records feel more like a happy celebration in the summertime and less like an over-contemplative listening room. Most of his songs touch on the ideas of family, and community and serve as a reminder that those aspects of life are as rich of an experience as any heartbreak that we can relate to in a song.
