Tennessee natives Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors last played New Orleans back in 2014 at the Voodoo Music Fest, they returned in 2018, to play the Rock Boat XVIII tour. Their latest stop and coincidently end of tour date, was the Joy Theater.

There is something poignant in knowing you are playing the last show of a tour and Drew seemed happy with that fate. There's a bittersweet melancholy in the music that Drew plays, making his Americana style of Alt-Country even more familiar. His messages of hardship and triumph raise the human spirit. His set was well-rounded, containing material from almost all of his releases as well as four new tracks that will be coming out on a new album later this year. Peppered in the set also were a couple of amazing covers. You can see more pictures here.
