201: Unabridged Interview: Drew Holcomb
This is our unabridged interview with Drew Holcomb. ”The scarcity of life is what gives it value,” says singer-songwriter Drew Holcomb. “If we all lived forever, there would be no sort of rush to love and rush to justice and rush to mercy and rush to know people.” Drew’s new album, Memory Bank, co-created with his wife Ellie, is full of personal stories of love, resilience, mortality, and a strong but subtle social conscience. It was his father that inspired the title track on the album saying on their frequent family road trips that “ hope you guys don't expect to inherit anything. I put all my money in the memory bank.” Drew reflects on the impact this perspective has had on him, his art, and his faith. Drew and Lee also share their excitement about going on tour together this spring, along with Malcolm Gladwell, for No Small Endeavor: Live.Show Notes Resources: Drew’s website "The Last Sweet Mile" by Allen Levi Similar NSE episodes: Drew Holcomb: Fighting Dragons and Singing at Loss Russ Taff: Music, Addiction, and Redemption Clay Hobbs: The Wisdom of Numbering Your Days PDF of Lee's Interview Notes Transcript Want more NSE?
