A student of classic country music with the swagger of early rock ‘n’ roll, Drake Milligan is an electrifying entertainer who packs venues night after night on tour. His unique style of traditional yet timely country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike. His debut album features double-barreled baritone vocals, electrifying honky-tonk hooks, Western swing two-steppers and country pop balladry, as Milligan uncorks exuberant themes of trouble-making fun, young romance and life-sustaining love. When it came time to unearth his very own sound, the Nashville newcomer turned to his roots: Texas. Growing up in Fort Worth and loving the outdoors as much as he loved music, Milligan’s intent was always to sound like himself, as opposed to merely copying the sonic vocals and instrumentations of his heroes. While the family scrapyard business was never his Plan B, he still thinks of Texas as home and Nashville as his home base.
