For Nashville based, Memphis born Drew Holcomb, “music is medicine” and it seems only fitting that along with his band The Neighbors – wife Ellie (vocals, guitar), Nathan Dugger (guitar, keys) and Rick Brinsfield (bass) – the group will celebrate a decade long career with the release of their new full-length studio album Medicine on January 27th via his own imprint Magnolia Music. Recorded over eight days at Joe Pisapia’s Middletree Studios in East Nashville, the twelve song album was co-produced by Pisapia (Ben Folds, KD Lang, Guster, Josh Rouse) and the band and tackles issues of everyday life including loyalty, hardship, marriage, friendship, alienation and faith.
Medicine is the follow-up album to 2013’s full-length studio release Good Light – the band’s most successful album to date.
The band toured heavily, including direct support slots with NEEDTOBREATHE, John Hiatt, and the Avett Brothers as well as several headlining runs. In addition, they played several prestigious US festivals including Bonnaroo, Hangout Music Fest, Americana Music Festival, Forecastle and the Voodoo Experience and even started their own annual festival this past June with the Moon River Music Festival in Memphis. The Good Light album also brought international headlining tours for the first time with shows in the UK, Scandinavia, Denmark, and Canada.
The band will be supporting Medicine with a massive US headlining tour to follow including a February 28th show at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium. All confirmed dates are below and fans can hear the first new song “American Beauty” that just premiered on Paste below…
