"Tunes"day-- Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors

Happy "TUNES"day!

This week we are looking at a tune from Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors. The band was formed in 2006.

Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors is an Americana band from Memphis and East Nashville, TN. The band was formed in 2006 by Drew Holcomb (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica). Bandmates include Nathan Dugger (guitar, keys), Rich Brinsfield (bass), Jonathan Womble (drums), and Grant Pittman (keys). Their sound can be discribed as of singer/songwriter Americana. So what exactly does Americana embody? Americana, as defined by the Americana Music Association (AMA), is "contemporary music that incorporates elements of various American roots music styles, including country, roots-rock, folk, bluegrass, R&B and blues, resulting in a distinctive roots-oriented sound that lives in a world apart from the pure forms of the genres upon which it may draw. While acoustic instruments are often present and vital, Americana also often uses a full electric band."

The band has sold over 100,000 albums to date, and played over 1,800 concert dates in seven countries. Their songs have received 40 TV placements, appearing on How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, Parenthood, Nashville, HOUSE, Justified and more.
