Seeing Drake White live is far from an ordinary concert experience. Equal parts
warrior leader, holy-fire reverend, and gypsy Appalachian mountain man, he
fronts his band with a mix of Muscle Shoals groove and honky-tonk grease. The
goal? To continue building an inspired community with his voice, country-soul
spirit, and relentless optimism, fusing everything he does — from the shows he
plays with The Big Fire (his blue-collar band of road warriors), to the events he
hosts at Whitewood Hollow, the rustic event space he hand-designed with his
wife, Alex, in rural Tennessee — with the big-tent spirit of a revival.
"There's a Huckleberry Finn-type freedom to everything we do," Drake says in his
rich Alabama drawl. "Whether I'm onstage, in the recording studio, or outdoors,
it's all about absorbing inspiration and giving it back. Alex and I are builders.
We're weaving that spirit into our mission of building community, building culture,
living good lives, and serving people — whether that means serving our maker or
our audience or our guests at Whitewood Hollow."
From his childhood days singing with the First Baptist Church youth choir in
Alabama to his emergence as one of country music's most acclaimed innovators
— with four Top 40 hits, multiple nationwide tours, and a dedicated cult following
all under his belt — Drake has happily blurred the boundaries between music
and every other moment of his life. After all, music doesn't begin or end when
he's onstage or in the studio. It's informed by everything he does, whether he's
paddling a river, building a barn, starting a fire, or spending time with his wife. A
lover of nature and a boundless traveler, he's as happy camping in Montana as
he is tilling the earth at his home in Tennessee. All of it helps fuel his larger
mission to be present and to live fully in the moment.
That mission has been strengthened not only by Drake's milestones, but also his
setbacks. Halfway through a show in August 2019, he collapsed onstage, the
result of a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a life-threatening tangle of arteries and
veins in his brain. Shows were cancelled and plans put on hold as Drake
underwent months of intensive physiotherapy — as well as a series of operations
— to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). Step by step, he regained the
use of his left side. Throughout it all, Drake reminded himself to make the
absolute most of every waking moment, both onstage and off.
Singer-songwriter Kasey Tyndall is making her stamp on country music with her edgy, rock-infused, hard-hitting country sound.
Tyndall first picked up the guitar in sixth grade after being assigned a writing project in school. She taught herself a few chords and learned she could convey her words to music. Since then, she fell in love with the craft and has been writing and performing ever since.
With roots going back to a small town outside Greenville, NC, Tyndall worked three jobs while singing on the side with dreams of moving to Music City. That dream quickly became reality after winning a radio station contest to duet with Keith Urban at a Raleigh, NC tour date. In 2015, Tyndall decided to pursue music full-time and made the move to Nashville.
Tapped as a “hard-rock country badass” by Rolling Stone, Tyndall has shared the stage with renowned musicians like Joe Diffie, Kane Brown, Granger Smith, Stryper, The Cadillac Three and more. Her musical influences range from Miranda Lambert and Allison Krauss to Avril Lavigne and Joan Jett, reflecting her innate ability to resonate among hard rock and roll and country fans alike. Tyndall continues to write and record new music in Nashville, TN with her new single “Middle Man” — which chronicles life with divorced parents — out now.
