Happy Summer Friends.

Happy Summer friends.

I hope this finds you on a road trip, by the pool, or anywhere else spending time with people you love.

We are excited to announce the "Good Light" Headline Tour, that is coming to a city near you starting in August. All tour dates are below, including some amazing end-of-Summer festivals too. Get your tickets now and bring your friends and family. Touring and playing these songs live is something we have looked forward to for a long time. Come join us for a show or two.

It was amazing seeing many old friends and making more new ones on the Needtobreathe tour this Spring. They were fantastic hosts. For all who are new to us - thank you for joining the Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors family.

Our new album, "Good Light," (a great Summer road trip soundtrack, we believe) is available wherever on all digital storefronts, indie record stores, and our webstore.

Thanks to everyone who has purchased the album and to all who have told their friends.

Remember, sunscreen is your friend. See you in the Fall!

Record Store Day

Hi all-
Hopefully Spring has come your way, it's been gorgeous in the South for about a week.
We have partnered with independent record stores across the country to sell two unreleased songs on a limited edition 7-inch vinyl in celebration of Record Store Day and independent record stores everywhere. The songs featured are "Sing Nightingale" and "I Need You, You Need Me", recorded Live at Eddie's Attic, one of our favorite venues in the country.

Our new album "Good Light" will also be available at the record stores, both in vinyl and CD format.

For a full list of stores carrying the exclusive 7 inch vinyl: http://www.recordstoreday.com/Item/9004206224

Have a wonderful Spring and hopefully we'll see you on the road. Been great to see so many familiar faces in the crowd on the Needtobreathe tour. We'll be doing our first headline tour for "Good Light" in the Fall and are excited to be coming to a city near you. Expect major announcements soon.

Thanks as always for the support!

Why 2013 is a Great Year in Music

2013 has been great year in music so far. Personally, with the release in February of Good Light, and the all the touring we are doing, including the Needtobreathe Tour, Bonnaroo, etc, we are in a constant state of excitement. I also have been listening to a lot of new music and have been in awe of all the great records that are being released.

Here are 10 reasons why 2013 is a great year for music, in no particular order.
1. K.S Rhoads. The Wilderness. Groove. Sonic Landscape. Ernest. Incredible Lyrics. Favorite Tracks. "Harvest" and "The River of Suffering"
2. Holly Williams. The Highway. Our friend Charlie Peacock produced this record. Holly is Hank Williams grand daughter and his blood runs deep. "A Good Man" is my song of the year so far. I hope it is how Ellie would feel about me. Favorite Track. "A Good Man"
3. JD McPherson. Signs & Signifiers. Heard this at a club we were playing in, and thought it was something from Sun Records in the 50's. It's brand new. Vibyest thing I have heard in a long time.
4. Will Hoge. All of his Records. Will has become a good friend and his song "Even if it Breaks Your Heart" (made famous by Eli Young Band) is my personal anthem for our band this year and every artist out there busting their tales to get their music heard.
5. Kacey Musgraves. Same Trailer, Different Park. I don't believe most country music. It seems contrived and derivative. Kacey Musgraves is neither. Love her band too. Fav. Track. "Keep It To Yourself"
6. Alabama Shakes. Boys and Girls. I know, I am way late to this party. Somehow I never bought this until I saw Brittany Howard own the Grammy Tribute to Levon Helm. Such a great record. Fav. Track. "Hang Loose"
7. Ivan & Alyosha. All the Times We Had. I love most anything my old label Dualtone puts out, but this is a great west coast americana record. Fav. track "Fathers Be Kind."
8. Justin Timberlake. 20/20. Fellow Memphian does whatever he wants, and what he wants is pop music at its finest. Also Loving the Bruno Mars record. These are my pop guilty pleasures.
9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Specter at the Feast. Saw them open for U2 in 2005. They carry the torch of Rock N Roll. Fav Track. "Let the Day Begin."
10. All that is coming.... Its only March. Dawes has a new record coming in April. My friends Ben Rector, Andrew Ripp, and Matt Wertz are all releasing records this year.

I am inspired by all the great songs, great music, great artists that are out right now.
I hope you are too.

Drew.

Musings of "Good Light":
