WHAT IT IS: Named one of No Depression’s “7 Male Artists to Break Out in 2018,” Drake White is going to put together the pieces. His forthcoming Pieces EP features five new tracks, two of which he co-wrote. This follows debut album Spark, which has earned praise both commercially and across his loyal fan following. The 2016 Taste of Country Fan Choice Awards Album of the Year is a 12-track labor of love that showcases his exemplary songwriting with a rock-infused, organic country sound and signature foot-stomp. His latest offering, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again,” hit the top spot on SiriusXM’s The Highway with its deeply personal lyrics and pulsating groove. It also earned White the honor of International Song of the Year at the British CMA Awards. Fans from all genres voted Drake, who continues to stun crowds with his incredible live show and soulful voice, as CBS.com’s Grammy “Artist of Tomorrow.”
