Drew Holcomb Shares His Weekend Essentials For a Laid Back Summer

Memphis, Tennessee is soaked in music, history, and all kinds of culture. Anyone who walks along Beale Street can figure that out. The City of Blues is where Drew Holcomb grew up singing in church and humming along to the radio.
Now, this isn't a unique experience for a Memphis kid. We all know famous names like B.B. King, Booker T., and Elvis Presley put Memphis on the map as a music city. When you've got colossal acts like that coming from your hometown, you're bound to have a bit of the bug for music. Some odd years between his childhood and now, he's made a lot of music that's easy for everyone to sing along to.
On the tail end of his "Find Your People Tour," Holcomb and his bandmates recently announced a new album. Stangers No More, the same album the tour was named after, has a second volume that is being released in the fall.
"It was always the plan to release the album in two parts," the frontman explained. "Twenty songs was probably too much to overwhelm people with. We let the first volume run its length."
The album has definitely been running, but without any slowing down.
One of the first singles from the record was "Dance With Everybody," a sing-songy tune that really does make you want to get up and dance with everybody. The song outstretched Holcomb's normal fanbase when it became the featured hit of a NCAA March Madness commercial. A compilation of teammates dancing, coaches laughing, and fans cheering goes right along with the theme of the song.
And the track "Find Your People" has become an anthem of gratitude, and a viral song on TikTok. Music causing people to dance and celebrate the people they love? What's not to like?
Between a whole lot of song writing and touring, you would think a busy man like Drew would soak up all the downtime he can get. But on top of being a touring musician, he's also over the music festival Moon River, owns Magnolia Record Store, and has a hand in Sweetens Cove Bourbon. Not to mention, a husband and father of three.
"My rest tends to be pretty active. I like to play golf, I like to sit on the porch and smoke a cigar with my friends, going on a hike with the kids. My rest is more fun."
You're speaking Country Living language, Drew!
