New York, NY – 13 June 2024 – Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors are releasing a live cover of Adele’s “When We Were Young” today – listen HERE. It has been a staple in the band’s setlist this past year and was recorded during a show at the legendary First Avenue venue in Minneapolis, MN last fall. When asked about the choice to cover Adele, Holcomb shared, “I’ve loved Adele since the first time I heard ‘Chasing Pavements.’ She is the voice of our generation, and one of the best of all time. When I told the band I wanted to cover ‘When We Were Young’ on the tour they thought I was crazy. I’ll never forget the first time we tried it was during soundcheck on a show opening for Darius Rucker outside of Atlanta. Ellie and the kids were in the empty amphitheater listening to us soundcheck… She and the kids loved it, and I knew we were on to something. Going out into the audience every night to sing my heart out was a blast. Thanks for the memories of this tour yall.”

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors have spent the past year on the road supporting their latest full-length studio album Strangers No More. The LP is ninth full-length and features the group’s first #1< Americana single “Find Your People.” The single recently had a huge spike in streams thanks to Instagram Reels and TikTok, where the song peaked at #2 on TikTok’s popular chart and broke into the Top 50 (#49) on the Billboard TikTok chart. The success of the album and single also helped the band reach a new career milestone last month when they celebrated more than 500 million global streams and were presented with a plaque commemorating the achievement at the Ryman Theatre in Nashville where the band capped their Spring US headline tour with two sold out nights.

Holcomb and his band – Nathan Dugger (guitar), Rich Brinsfield (bass), Will Sayles (drums), and Ian Miller (keys) – have been on a roll since the release, kicking things off last June with a return to Bonnaroo followed by a direct support slot for Darius Rucker, headline shows, a short run with The Head and The Heart, and a January UK solo tour for Holcomb who spent February on the road with his wife Ellie Holcomb. On the TV front, they returned to CBS Saturday Morning in July, made their debut on Live with Kelly & Mark in October, made their Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade debut on November 23rd, and joined Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February 2024.

Over the past six months Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors have been releasing a steady flow of new songs including this month’s reflective “Soul’s A Camera,” March’s Southern rocker “Suffering,” and December’s heartfelt ballad “Way Back When.” These songs, as well as the as yet to be released “Burn” featuring the rare return of Ellie Holcomb, were recorded during the Strangers No More album sessions and will be featured on the band’s recently announced Strangers No More Volume II LP – due out September 12th, preorder/pre-save HERE.
