Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors is an Americana band from Memphis and East Nashville in Tennessee, United States. The band was formed in 2006 by Drew Holcomb (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica). The other band members are Nathan Dugger (guitar, keys) Jonathan Womble (drums), and Rich Brinsfield (bass). His wife, Ellie Holcomb, quit touring with the band prior to the release of the Medicine headlining tour.
History
Early years
Drew Holcomb began his musical career as a solo act. In 2003, he recorded his debut EP Lost And Found in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Two years later, Holcomb released the full-length album Washed In Blue, which led to multiple TV placements, including Lifetime's Army Wives, Showtimes's United States of Tara, and A&E's The Cleaner.
After band formation
While attending the University of Tennessee, Holcomb met Ellie Bannister, daughter of producer-songwriter Brown Bannister. The two married in 2006 and now live in Nashville.[1] Shortly after their wedding, Drew collaborated with Ellie as well as Nathan Dugger and Rich Brinsfield to form a band. At the time, they all lived in the same zip code, which was why the band was called "Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors". In August 2008, the band released a 10-track album called Passenger Seat, which reached No. 3 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart.
In 2009, Holcomb and his band toured heavily, and supported several national acts, including Susan Tedeschi, Ryan Adams, Los Lobos, The Avett Brothers, Robert Earl Keen, and Marc Broussard. In the fall of 2009, the band appeared alongside Pat Green, Billy Joe Shaver, and Darryl Worley on the PBS TV show Legends and Lyrics.
In 2011, the band partnered with Dualtone Records to create the album Chasing Someday. Released in February 2011, the 13-track album earned Holcomb his first appearance on the Billboard charts. Chasing Someday debuted at No. 3 Billboard Heatseekers, No. 156 Billboard Top 200, No. 45 on Billboard Overall Digital Albums, No. 19 on Billboard Independent Album Chart and No. 8 on Billboard Folk Albums. The band embarked on the heaviest touring season since its inception, playing over 400 shows for the Chasing Someday cycle and their first sell out performances in venues beyond the Southeastern United States.
In February 2013, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors released their most successful album to date, Good Light, through self-owned imprint Magnolia Music and management company's Good Time Records. The 12-song album debuted No. 84 on Billboard Top 200 and landed on several other Billboard charts, including: Folk Albums (No. 5), Independent Albums (No. 14), and Rock Albums (No. 23). Good Light peaked at No. 18 on the Americana radio format chart. The band toured heavily, first in direct support for Needtobreathe's US "Drive All Night" Tour, and Drew later directly supported John Hiatt's West Coast tour as a solo performer.
Medicine was the 2015 follow-up to Drew Holcomb's 2013 album Good Light. The album debuted at No. 47 on the Billboard 200 along with other Billboard charts: Digital Albums (No. 23), Folk Albums (No. 6), Indie Albums (No. 9), Internet Albums (No. 11), Rock Albums (No. 12), and Top Current Album Sales (No. 30).
Shortly after the band's first live album, Live at the Ryman, was released in late 2016, they released a new studio album, Souvenir on March 24, 2017.
