Tucked into the Tennessee hills outside of Nashville, the space officially opened its doors in February 2020, marking the culmination of a six-year dream that began as a pencil-sketched drawing on a napkin. That sense of gratitude is also evident in Whitewood Hollow, the rustic event space that Drake and Alex White built in an oak-covered, hand-designed barn. I walk onstage these days and feel so thankful to be there - to be able to do what I love to do." The excitement never left me it's just greater now. People are going to hear that in my new music. I kept on swimming, kept on rafting, and kept on rocking. I kept writing music and running with that Huckleberry Finn mentality I've always had. I stopped worrying about the things I couldn't control. "I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude towards my maker, my life, and the simple things.

"Whether I'm onstage, in the recording studio, or outdoors, it's all about absorbing inspiration and giving it back. "There's a Huckleberry Finn-type freedom to everything we do," Drake says in his rich Alabama drawl.
The goal? To continue building an inspired community with his voice, country-soul spirit, and relentless optimism, fusing everything he does - from the shows he plays with The Big Fire (his blue-collar band of road warriors), to the events he hosts at Whitewood Hollow, the rustic event space he hand-designed with his wife, Alex, in rural Tennessee - with the big-tent spirit of a revival. Equal parts warrior leader, holy-fire reverend, and gypsy Appalachian mountain man, he fronts his band with a mix of Muscle Shoals groove and honky-tonk grease.
