DRAKE WHITE ANNOUNCES BRAND-NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, LOW COUNTRY HIGH ROAD

After previously offering his growing army of fans a glimpse into his forthcoming LP with singles including “Life, Love and War” and “10lbs of S#!T,” Country-Soul singer-songwriter Drake White now officially announces the upcoming release of his brand-new full-length album, Low Country High Road. Due September 20, White’s much-anticipated new project finds the dreamer digging deep into his creative bag; the result is a 13-song collection of some of his most inspired and meaningful material yet. Pre-order/pre-save Low Country High Road here.

Additionally, to celebrate today’s exciting announcement, White releases “Faith,” a plaintive, Blues-and-Gospel-tinged plea of a new single. Co-written by White alongside celebrated songwriter Jonathan Singleton, “Faith” finds the always vulnerable musician peeling back emotional layers like never before. “I’ve been one headlight flying/Down the midnight highway/And trying not to look behind me/At the roads I didn't take/Cause the one I’m on/Is the one I'm on tonight,” White sings atop a moving Gospel choir, as a Bluesy electric guitar crescendos near the song’s climax. Listen to “Faith” here.

“Faith” follows what’s already been a paramount year for White –  he released the wisdom-laden “Life, Love and War” in June and the mischievous Country-Rock anthem “10lbs of S#!T,” the previous month. In tandem, he’s been taking a victory lap for much of 2024 in the wake of his releasing the now-iconic ‘The Bridge’ EP in 2023. Featuring seven songs filled with inspiration, love and conviction, each track on ‘The Bridge’ was co-written by White with a cast including Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd, Leslie Satcher and more, combining all-new tracks with reimagined versions of fan favorites and a collaboration with Colbie Caillat.

The critically acclaimed artist-songwriter has been pounding the pavement in recent months: White crisscrossed the country on his wildly successful THE BRIDGE TOUR, joining Jamey Johnson for select dates. White’s 2024 run is currently set to finish September 28 in Lakeland, Florida. For complete tour details and ticket information, click here.

ABOUT DRAKE WHITE:
A Country-Soul troubadour with charisma to spare, Drake White pours every ounce of his unbridled passion into songs that brighten the spirit. For the latest turn in a dynamic career that’s included scoring four Top 40 hits, White recently kicked off a thrilling new era with his spring 2024 single “10lbs of S#!T” — a fun-loving anthem dedicated to letting the good times roll and living life to the absolute fullest. After getting his start singing in his church’s youth choir, the Alabama native broke onto the scene with his 2013 single “Simple Life” and released his debut album SPARK in 2016. As he gained a devoted following for his soul-stirring songwriting (also showcased on the back-to-back EPs 'Pieces' and 'Stars'), White collapsed on stage due to a hemorrhagic stroke in August 2019, then underwent a series of operations to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). Once recovered, he returned with his critically acclaimed sophomore LP THE OPTIMYSTIC: a 2022 release praised as an “extremely accomplished album” (American Songwriter) full of songs that “offer hope to anyone dealing with difficulty in their life" (E! News). Maintaining that unstoppable momentum, he next delivered the 2023 EP 'The Bridge,' a powerful seven-song project featuring collaborations with the likes of Maren Morris and Colbie Caillat. Over the years, White has shared the bill with Country superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church, and Zac Brown Band and brought his electrifying live show to a number of headline tours, including 2022’s THE OPTIMYSTIC TOUR (with dates in the U.S. and U.K.) and 2024’s THE BRIDGE TOUR (a 24-city nationwide run). With his many accolades including winning the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year, landing on Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know list, and earning recognition as a GRAMMY Artist of Tomorrow, White is now at work on more new music built on his freewheeling sound and emotionally charged yet quick-witted lyricism.
