The 14-Track Collection Marks An Exciting New Era For One Of Country’s Most Electrifying Voices
Critically acclaimed Country artist, Drake Milligan, today releases his highly anticipated sophomore album, Tumbleweed, out everywhere now – listen HERE. Produced by Trent Willmon, Tumbleweed includes 14 tracks that perfectly combine traditional Texas country, Western swing, and modern Nashville stylings, while showcasing Milligan’s timeless musicality. In tandem with the release, Milligan drops the brand new, official music video to the album’s title track – watch HERE.
“This is the type of album I’ve always wanted to make” says Milligan. “Tumbleweed has many different influences and therefore takes a lot of chances. It captures just about everything I love about Country music, and I’m thrilled to finally be getting it out there for the world to hear.”
This record touts Milligan’s impressive versatility through his captivating storytelling skills in songs like “Hard Headed Cowboy”, his ability to tug on your heart strings in “Lonely:30”, and his clever cheekiness in “Goodbye Ain’t All That Bad”. In the closing number, “How Much Beer”, Milligan taps fellow Texan, Randall King, for an ode to the working man’s watering hole. Written by Milligan, Luke Laird, and Brice Long, the track is a twangy salute to the blue-collar beer champion, his barstool, and the neon lights.
The title track, released in September, will be spotlighted on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday when Drake performs “Tumbleweed” in the broadcast. The release is also climbing the UK Country Radio Airplay chart ahead of his return overseas, with upcoming headline dates in Paris and Brussels in March 2026, plus a main stage slot at C2C: Country to Country Festival in Rotterdam, Berlin, London, Glasgow, and Belfast.

ABOUT DRAKE MILLIGAN:
A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, Drake Milligan is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers, and major media including Billboard, PEOPLE, American Songwriter, USA Today, Access Hollywood, and more.
In 2022, Milligan burst onto the national music stage with his debut album Dallas/Fort Worth, which topped the iTunes Country and All-Genre charts, landed him at #5 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart, and was later named one of Billboard’s “Best Country Albums of 2022.” The Fort Worth, TX native has since performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach and CMA Music Festival, and recently became the first artist to perform on an F1 racetrack for the inaugural F1 Grid Gigs in Austin, TX. Following his breakout debut, Milligan earned a #1 Canadian Country Radio hit with “Honky Tonkin’ About” (with The Reklaws) and carried that momentum into 2024 with his critically acclaimed EP Jukebox Songs, featuring fan favourite “I Got A Problem”.
He also returned to primetime television for America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League before joining Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton on tour. With more than 230 million streams worldwide, Milligan is entering his next chapter with the release of his sophomore album Tumbleweed.
