Drake White and The Big Fire’s “Muddy Water-inspired soul-country” (Taste of Country) is resonating with artists and fans alike. White’s music, including his Top-40 single “It Feels Good,” has attracted some major fans in both Little Big Town and now Zac Brown Band. Enough so that both groups tapped the DOT/BMLG recording artist for their respective tours this fall with dates starting this Friday at New York City’s Citi Field with ZBB.
Growing listening to dynamic touring acts like Joe Cocker and The Grease Band and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Alabama-born soulful singer couldn’t imagine a better scenario than to be chosen for these tours. “You don’t even dream of opportunities like this,” shares White. “To be on the road with artists that we are fans of is just wild!”
When not on tour, White is in the studio with producers Ross Copperman and Jeremy Stover working on his debut album, which is planned for an early 2016 release.
