ALBANY – Six String Southern Productions and the Oak View Group announced Tuesday that Drew and Ellie Holcomb will perform live at the Albany Municipal Auditorium on Feb. 6. Tickets for the show are reserved seating and start at $35. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. online at ticketmaster.com and at the Georgia’s Own Credit Union Box Office located at the Albany Civic Center.
There are no strangers at a Drew Holcomb show. For the better part of two decades, the award-winning songwriter has brought his audience together night after night, turning his shows into celebrations of community, collaboration, and contemporary American roots music. “Strangers No More,” the eighth album from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, celebrates that sense of togetherness synthesized in the No. 1 Americana Song, “Find Your People.”
Following her eight-year stint as a member of her husband’s band, Ellie Holcomb’s solo debut, “As Sure As The Sun,” landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, “CANYON,” to much acclaim, earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, “I Will Carry You.”
The four-time Dove Award winner is also a best-selling author, having written three children’s books and a devotional, which have sold a combined 500,000 copies.
Together, the Holcombs have amassed more than 1 billion combined streams, have toured with the likes of Willie Nelson and Lauren Daigle, and have been featured on dozens of TV shows.
The Memory Bank Tour is in support of their first-ever full-length duo record. “An Evening with Drew and Ellie Holcomb” is a special engagement event, allowing the Holcombs to collaborate once again.
