Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors is an Americana rock band from Tennessee. Drawing influence from Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, Holcomb has found his place in today\u2019s landscape of singer\/songwriter Americana. The band has developed their loyal base through extensive synch success, having been featured in over 50 TV shows, films, and national ad campaigns, as well as rigorous touring, performing alongside John Hiatt, The Avett Brothers, Don Henley, and more.<\/p>\n

Holcomb\u2019s songs have always charged his listeners\u2019 hearts and minds while inspiring them to think, feel, dance, and love. But with his new album, Dragons<\/em>, his subject material finds the singer using a finer brush and mixing more of the joys, struggles, and specific moments of his own life than ever before to help him paint his masterpieces and connect with fans on a universal level. With its modern production, careful sense of craft and collaboration, and rafter-reaching anthems carrying profound, intentional lyrics, the album represents Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors\u2019 biggest moment yet, a powerful portrait stretched across a wide sonic canvas.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big part of this record for me was about taking stock of the many roles I play and synthesizing them into the emotions of these songs,\u201d Holcomb says. \u201cI\u2019ve made peace with the fact that I live a pretty normal life\u2014I\u2019ve got a happy marriage, healthy kids, a job I enjoy immensely\u2014and yet still I\u2019m reminded of the quote: \u2018Always be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.\u2019 Everybody is trying to fight their way through some sort of hell; people wake up every morning and there are dragons they have to slay that day. What I\u2019ve learned is that music is here to help us overcome and get through life and survive those moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
