New York, NY – 17th October 2024 – Drew & Ellie Holcomb are announcing the January 24th release of their new full-length studio album Memory Bank. The couple, who have pursued their separate and equally successful career paths over the last decade plus, dedicated time to writing together earlier this year when out on one of their annual You & Me tours. The result is an album that finds these creative partners sharing the spotlight equally, which can be heard on the album’s title track “Memory Bank,” out today – listen HERE and watch the official music video directed by Carl Diebold (Patty GriffinLoretta LynnHERE. In addition, Drew & Ellie are announcing their biggest US headline tour to date kicking off on February 5th at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, AL and culminating in Nashville, TN at the Ryman Auditorium on May 3rd.





When I was a kid, I was fascinated by road trips and travel. My parents loved to travel and they would pile my sister Clare, and my brothers Jay and Sam in the conversion van and we would hit the road. I visited 47 states before I graduated high school. I was obsessed with travel books like John Steinbeck’s ‘Travels with Charley,’ Kerouac’s ‘On The Road,’ and piles of others. I think this love of adventure and seeing and experiencing new things and new people was one of the reasons I chose this life of music, and it is certainly one of the reasons Ellie and I got together, because we both love to say yes to “putting money in the memory bank.” We may die broke but we will have a great time and see a lot of great things and try our best to live with generous hearts as we go. In the soil of all this, we wrote this song “Memory Bank.” We love it, and we hope it is an anthem for you and yours. – Drew Holcomb

“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.” —Jean-Michel Basquiat

Sometimes you write a song that you find yourself wanting to play every time you get in the car. That’s “Memory Bank” for me. We hope to live this song for as long as we’re living.

Book the trip. Get lost. Get found. Jump in the ocean. Drive across the country. Take the long way around. Do it all with the people you love, and make the memories run. “Let em shine. Make em fine. Cause we only got so much time.”

I hope this song is played on roadtrips everywhere, & that it decorates the memories you make with the ones you love most. – Ellie Holcomb

Drew & Ellie Holcomb first met while Drew, a native Memphian, and Ellie, a native Nashvillian, were attending school together at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. When Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors originally formed in 2005, Ellie was a full-time member. The couple married in 2006 and in 2012, Ellie left the group to pursue a solo career. She has since gone on to release three studio albums of her own including her critically acclaimed 2021 LP Canyon. Ellie is a 4x GMA Dove Award winner and best-selling author, having written three children’s books and a devotional selling a combined 500K copies. Drew and the band released 10 studio albums, including their recent critically acclaimed Strangers No More LP in June 2023 and Strangers No More Volume Two LP in September 2024. In addition, the band had their first #1 Americana hit with “Find Your People” from Strangers No More and reached a new career milestone this year with 500M career streams.

Over the course of their individual career paths, the couple has continued to collaborate personally – adding three beautiful children to their family – and professionally – putting out singles, an EP and 2022’s Coming Home: A Collection of Songs album, as well as touring together regularly and continuing to release heartwarming Americana and folk tunes that weave stories of life, love, hope, and resilience. With over 1 BILLION combined streams, Drew & Ellie are excited to be releasing their first fully collaborative album of cowrites. The intentionality they approached Memory Bank with can be heard throughout the 13 tracks, that give the listener a view into their shared lives.
