Inside Music Podcast #176: Ellie Holcomb

Ahead of her performance at Moon River Music Festival, Ellie Holcomb stops by Inside Music to discuss her career, her family, and how she balances the many things happening in the Holcomb household.

Ellie Holcomb leads a life many people dream about. Not only is she a world-renowned solo artist with a growing catalog of music adored by countless thousands, but she’s also an author, songwriter, wife, and mother. Along with her husband, Drew Holcomb, Ellie has written material that serves as the soundtrack to relationships and personal development. She’s doing everything she aspires to in this life, and she has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

But how does she pull it off? How does one woman pursue her passions, support her partner’s pursuit of passions, raise a family, tour, and find time to consistently try new things in her life?

We don’t have all the answers. It’s possible that Ellie herself is unaware of how it all comes together day after day. What we know for certain, however, is that Ellie Holcomb is endlessly grateful for the life she is able to lead. Her presence exudes kindness and warmth. She carries the world on her back and rarely if ever makes a fuss about the stress of it all. She is, to put it lightly, the kind of person we here at Haulix hope to be in our daily lives.

Recently, Ellie hopped on the phone with Inside Music host James Shotwell to discuss her upcoming appearance at Moon River Music Festival. Ellie also spoke about her home life, her husband’s new release, and how the pair maintain a healthy marriage in an industry known for tearing people apart.

Inside Music Podcast #163: Drew Holcomb Returns!

Ahead of his upcoming album, Dragons, Drew Holcomb returns to Inside Music to chat about the latest developments in his life and career.

More than three years have passed since Drew Holcomb last appeared on the Inside Music Podcast. In that time, Holcomb has released another album with his band, The Neighbors, as well as an EP with his wife, Ellie. He has also toured across the country several times over, raised his children, launched a music festival, and began curating a monthly vinyl club. To say he’s been busy would be an understatement, and today, we are going to pull back the curtain to learn how he’s handling everything happening in life.

Holcomb’s currently preparing to release a new studio album entitled Dragons. The record won’t arrive until August, but the title track is already available to stream online. Check it out:

More than any previous release, Dragons captures Drew Holcomb as a man with everything most hope to gain in this life. He’s a father, an entrepreneur, a husband, and someone who can claim to be living out their wildest dreams. He has carved a path in the music industry that no one can duplicate, and he’s done it all without falling into the trappings of the music business. Dragons captures where he is in life right now, and it does so by shining a light on the many sides of his personality.

On this episode of Inside Music, Drew Holcomb chats with host James Shotwell about the latest developments in his life. Drew tells James about the new album, as well as his Moon River music festival and all the work it entails. The pair also discuss Drew’s secret to success, which can benefit any artist willing to put themselves in a somewhat vulnerable position. Take a listen below:

Music Biz 101: Drew Holcomb and The Power of Authenticity [VIDEO]

There will always be a market for shallow songs with catchy hooks, but career musicians like Drew Holcomb know that the path to long-term success requires an embrace of one’s authentic self.

A quick Google search will tell you that being an authentic means being someone people view as being genuine. In the world of music, artists who embrace their journey are genuine. It doesn’t matter if you come from money or the middle of nowhere, as long as you share your highs, your lows, and everything in between you can establish yourself as someone who is telling real stories in a market filled with lies.

But let’s be honest: Lies can sell. Virtually everyone enjoys a good pop song about making money, having money, falling in love, or heartache. There are universal desires and pains that people relate to regardless of their authenticity, but songs lacking that element of realness rarely help an artist achieve long-term success in music.

Drew Holcomb is proof that being your authentic self can lead to a long and prosperous career in music. For more than a decade, Drew has been writing, recording, and touring outside the traditional label system. He has never topped the Billboard charts or headlined Coachella, but he has developed a deeply engaged relationship with his audience that supports multiple projects, as well as a monthly record club and a (currently sold out) music festival. Drew plays to sold-out crowds on a regular basis and rarely, if ever, has to compromise his artistic vision for what someone else deems to be “the right thing” to do instead. He is, in short, living the dream.

Recently, while promoting his new single “Dragons” and the album of the same name it hails from, Drew spoke with Haulix about his career and how he’s managed to flourish outside the normal music industry structure. We took that insight and used it to create the latest video in our ongoing Music Biz 101 educational series, which you can now view below:

Drew will also be appearing on an upcoming episode of our podcast, Inside Music. You can subscribe to that series on iTunes or you can stream it on any podcast app.
