Drake’s passion for everything country & roots music is evermore apparent in his latest 6-track EP, Highway 200, released via the Orchard. The “rough around the edges” production showcased with droned fiddle and baritone guitar deliver a traditional sound to a contemporary audience.
“I always aim to make country music that is relatable. Something you’d want to listen to in the feed truck.”

“Roll The Dice” marries the production value and elements of old country from the past with a contemporary presentation. This 7 song volume showcases pedal steel work of Grand Ol Opry Player Tommy White, emotive rhythm from Nashville's iconic bassist Dennis Crouch, and harmonica from the legend Charley McCoy. “Roll The Dice” was written over a short time when Drake spent his time living his lyrics in the heart of Nashville at his go-to honky tonks. We’re going back to our roots with this one!
