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 and Ellie Holcomb, the beloved husband-and-wife duo, are set to release their highly anticipated joint album, “Memory Bank,” on January 24. This 13-track masterpiece is the culmination of their annual You & Me tour’s writing sessions, where they poured their hearts into crafting songs that celebrate life, love, and adventure.
