Drew & Ellie Holcomb are announcing the 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.
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
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 road trips everywhere, and that it decorates the memories you make with the ones you love most. – Ellie Holcomb
