Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors is an Americana band from Memphis and East Nashville in Tennessee, United States. The band was formed in 2006 by Drew Holcomb (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica). The other band members are Nathan Dugger (guitar, keys) Jonathan Womble (drums), and Rich Brinsfield (bass). His wife, Ellie Holcomb, quit touring with the band prior to the release of the Medicine headlining tour.
The band has sold over 100,000 albums to date, and played at over 1,800 concerts in seven countries. Their songs have received 40 TV placements, and have appeared on several TV shows including How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, Parenthood, Nashville, HOUSE, and Justified.
Drew Holcomb began his musical career as a solo act. In 2003, he recorded his debut EP Lost And Found in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Two years later, Holcomb released the full-length album Washed In Blue, which led to multiple TV placements, including Lifetime's Army Wives, Showtimes's United States of Tara, and A&E's The Cleaner.
While attending the University of Tennessee, Holcomb met Ellie Bannister, daughter of producer-songwriter Brown Bannister. The two married in 2006 and now live in Nashville. Shortly after their wedding, Drew collaborated with Ellie as well as Nathan Dugger and Rich Brinsfield to form a band. At the time, they all lived in the same zip code, which was why the band was called "Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors". In August 2008, the band released a 10-track album called Passenger Seat, which reached No. 3 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart.
In 2009, Holcomb and his band toured heavily, and supported several national acts, including Susan Tedeschi, Ryan Adams, Los Lobos, The Avett Brothers, Robert Earl Keen, and Marc Broussard. In the fall of 2009, the band appeared alongside Pat Green, Billy Joe Shaver, and Darryl Worley on the PBS TV show Legends and Lyrics.
