There are no strangers at a Drew Holcomb show. For nearly two decades, the award-winning songwriter has turned each performance into a celebration of community, collaboration, and contemporary American roots. Strangers No More, the band’s eighth album, captured this spirit and spun the #1 Americana song, “Find Your People”—a track that was synced in multiple national campaigns, including a Super Bowl commercial for Publix. The Neighbors also showcased their heartfelt connection when they performed live at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
