DRAKE WHITE LETS THE GOOD TIMES ROLL IN COUNTRY ANTHEM “10 LBS OF S#!T”

Drake White shows his good-ol’ boy, fun-loving side in the new up-tempo “10 Lbs of S#!T,” a mischievous do-it-all anthem affirming too much of a good thing is sometimes just enough.

Out today (5/10) and written by the Country-Soul troubadour with Matt Koziol and Kelli Johnson, the fresh track is highlighted by lightning-quick lyricism delivered with a smiling Alabama drawl, and a point of view aimed squarely at the finer points of a Country lifestyle. 

Celebrating a jack of all trades who’s also king of his castle, White lets loose on a torrent of important skills – from turning a torque wrench to mixing a drink – as hard work, fun, loving each other and enjoying the ride create a life overflowing in blessings.

Meanwhile, White and co-producer Jonathan Singleton pair that spirit with a rollicking roadhouse Country sound, putting an exclamation point on his message. Matching its speedy tempo with bright, twangy telecasters, Jerry Lee Lewis-style piano antics and White’s relentless positivity, the star reminds all who care to listen what he’s learned from experience – best to let the good times roll. 

“'10 Lbs of S#!T' in a five pound bag is a gritty Country anthem embodying the resilience and determination of the men and woman that wake up on a mission to GET SHIT DONE! It’s a blast to sing and a Polaroid of how I live my life today!" shares White. 

Marking the first release of a new creative chapter, “10 Lbs of S#!T,” follows White’s 2023 EP, 'The Bridge.' Featuring seven songs filled with inspiration, love and conviction, each track on 'The Bridge' was co-written by White with a cast including Maren MorrisRyan HurdLeslie Satcher and more, combining all-new tracks with reimagined versions of fan favorites and a collaboration with Colbie Caillat.

Recently, White wrapped up the initial leg of THE BRIDGE TOUR in Detroit (5/4) and will continue on with nationwide dates scheduled across North Carolina, Kansas, Iowa, his native Alabama and beyond – including select dates with Jamey Johnson. White’s 2024 run is currently set to finish September 14 in Savannah, Tennessee.

ABOUT DRAKE WHITE:
Drake White grew up singing in his church’s youth choir in Alabama before becoming one of Country music’s most spirited innovators, earning four Top 40 hits and traveling the country on multiple nationwide tours. His 2013 debut single “Simple Life” introduced his brand of Country Soul, which he cemented with 2016 debut album SPARK followed by the EPs ‘Pieces’ and ‘Stars.’ In August 2019, he collapsed on stage due to a hemorrhagic stroke, and doctors told him he might never perform again. After undergoing a series of operations to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and months of physiotherapy, White has proved them wrong, returning to the road to spread his incredible positivity to his fans. In 2022 he embarked on his headline THE OPTIMYSTIC TOUR, which spanned dates in the U.S. and the U.K., in support of his album THE OPTIMYSTIC, which is an inspiring glimpse into the journey he has taken over the past few years, and the “extremely accomplished album” (American Songwriter) delivers a “powerful message” (Nashville Lifestyles) via White’s “smooth brand of country-soul” (Billboard). With more music on the way, White released his EP ‘The Bridge’ in October 2023 to mark a brand-new era of self-discovery and purpose. Receiving accolades including Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know, The GRAMMY’s Artist of Tomorrow, and the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year, he has shared the bill with Country music superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band.
