    Authenticity shines like a beacon. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 2014 It can’t be manufactured and isn’t a commodity for sale. It carries the potency of truth and the sting of conviction. It’s the real deal, and it’s the essence of MCA Nashville www.drakewhite.com newcomer Drake White. SPECIAL GUEST When White sings “I’m a fan of beer ice cold, of waving at my neighbor when I meet him on the road, kissing on my woman in the moonlight. Yeah I’m a fan of the simple life,” it sounds like more than just a hit debut single. It sounds like the start of a great conversation with a new friend, and that’s just the way the Hokes Bluff, Alabama, native intends it. “One of my favorite things to do is share music with people,” says White, who has toured with Willie Nelson and opened for Eric Church, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and others. “I hope that my music gives you some kind of hope, something bigger than just the music that you can relate to, and it helps you get through the day.” The young singer/songwriter wrote or co-wrote each of the album’s 12 tracks and co- produced with Jeremy Stover. The songs reverberate with an appreciation for the things that mean the most in life as well as an infectious appetite for enjoying a good time and making the very most of every moment. It was there that his energetic live show started drawing attention, and Stover became one of White’s biggest supporters, bringing Music Row pals out to see his show.
