Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors release a stirring new ballad “Way Back When."

Holcomb's warm vocal tones are accompanied by piano and strings, creating a song that will pull on your heart strings from start to finish.

“Way Back When” follows the November 10th release of an acoustic version of the band's #1 Americana single “Find Your People” and is the first new track to be released since their critically acclaimed ninth studio album Strangers No More came out on June 7th via Magnolia Music.

It has been a banner year for Holcomb and his band who made their Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debut on November 23rd performing “Find Your People” on the Igniting Memories Solo Stove float. In July they returned to CBS Saturday Morning to perform “Find Your People” along with “All the Money in the World” and “Fly,” and they made their first ever appearance on Live with Kelly & Mark on October 3rd.

On the live front, the band returned to Bonnaroo on June 18th, spent the summer on the road as direct support for Darius Rucker, and have been out all fall both headlining and supporting The Head and The Heart. In addition, they have announced tour dates through May 2024, Holcomb announced a solo tour of Europe in January 2024, and outside of their annual Neighborly Christmas Shows later this month, Drew and his wife Ellie Holcomb will be out on their Feels Like Home tour in February 2024.

On top of all that Strangers No More earned Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors an Americana Music Association UK nomination for “International Album of the Year” alongside Allison Russell's The Returner and Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit's Weathervanes and saw the band gaining more than 5 MILLION new listeners on Spotify alone.

Holcomb celebrates community, collaboration, and his love for contemporary American Roots music with his longtime bandmates – Nathan Dugger (guitar), Rich Brinsfield (bass), Will Sayles (drums), and Ian Miller (keys) on the new LP and it has resonated. Listen to “Way Back When” and Strangers No More again HERE and look for Holcomb and his band on the road this year and next.
