WATCH DRAKE WHITE AND WIFE ALEX SHARE THEIR INSPIRING STORY ON THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW

In case you missed it, Country-Soul troubadour Drake White appeared on the The Kelly Clarkson Show today (10/25), joined by his wife Alex to share the riveting inspirational tale behind his new music.

On hand to discuss his latest full-length album, Low Country High Road, the acclaimed Alabama singer/songwriter told one of music’s most incredible stories. 

Unpacking his on-stage stroke in 2019, challenging recovery and ultimate return to the life he loves, the two-part interview also explained how the family navigated infertility and welcomed son Hawk in 2023 – a five-year “rollercoaster” which has led to his White’s new album.

Released in September as White’s third studio album, Low Country High Road charts a new path forward for the long-loved star. Featuring standout tracks like the wisdom-laden “Life, Love and War,” the mischievous “10 Lbs of S#!T,” and Blues-and-Gospel-tinged “Faith,” the Southern Soul specialist traces the impact of his continued recovery with profound appreciation for life’s little miracles – including love, fatherhood, and more.

A powerfully heartfelt celebration of all that brings him joy, Low Country High Road is once again filled with richly detailed storytelling and plenty of feel-good grooves, with a rootsy (yet electrifying) sound helping ease the mind and lift the spirit over 13 songs, all co-written by White himself.

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 “10 Lbs 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’s third album Low Country High Road was released in September 2024, pairing richly detailed storytelling and feel-good grooves for a soulful celebration of all that brings him joy.
