Drew Holcomb has had a busy year since the release of his latest album Medicine, but we were lucky enough catch up with the Nashville native between tour dates for this live session.
Finding a shady spot under a tree to escape the simmering late June sun, here he performs one of the album's standout tracks, “Tightrope.”
Recorded after a decade of touring with this band, The Neighbors, Holcomb calls Medicine “by far the best music we have ever made.”
He continues, “Music has always had a medicinal quality to me, and that’s why I started writing songs and touring in the first place.”
“Tightrope” is a perfect example of a Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors track – there’s a familiar warmth that pulls you in, like a song you’ve always known.
“Our music is simple and heartfelt, built to inhabit people’s day to day lives, like so many of the records I have loved over the long haul in my own life,” Holcomb says.
