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. 

“With a voice seasoned way beyond his 25 years, Drake Milligan is easily one of country music’s best modern traditionalists.” - Country Swag 

Last in Australia for CMC Rocks QLD in 2024, where he impressed crowds with his smooth baritone vocals and a sound that bridges modern and traditional country, Milligan returns in 2026 with his brand-new album Tumbleweed. The follow-up to his 2022 debut Dallas/Fort Worth - which reached No. 5 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart -Tumbleweed marks a confident sophomore release that has already won over fans and critics alike. 

Milligan first burst onto the national music stage with Dallas/Fort Worth, which topped both the iTunes Country and All-Genre charts and was later named one of Billboard’s Best Country Albums of 2022. The Texas native has since appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, performed at the Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach, and CMA Music Festival, and made history as the first artist to perform on an F1 racetrack during the inaugural F1 Grid Gigs in Austin, TX. 

Following his breakout debut, Milligan earned a No. 1 Canadian Country Radio hit with “Honky Tonkin’ About” alongside The Reklaws and carried that momentum into 2024, releasing critically acclaimed EP Jukebox Songs, with lead track “I Got A Problem” reaching #1 on Australian Country Radio. He also returned to primetime television on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League before joining Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton on tour. 

Joining Milligan in both Melbourne and Sydney is Queensland local, Mack Geiger. Hailing from Mount Larcom, Central Queensland, Mack’s upbringing on cattle stations and love for 90s country have shaped his distinctive, raw sound. Winning the prestigious Ekka Country Music Showdown and Maleny Country Stars Competition, Mack’s breakout 2024 led to his debut single “About Time” which gained traction in both Australia and the U.S., charting at #35 on the Countrytown Australian charts — a rare feat for an independent debut. 

Having performed at some of Australia’s biggest country music events including Lasso Country Music Festival, Meatstock Toowoomba, Gympie Music Muster, Nebo Hotel’s Street Party and Countryfest, Mack Geiger is quickly carving out his place as a lasting voice in Australian country music. 

Now with more than 255 million streams worldwide, Drake Milligan is entering his next chapter with the release of Tumbleweed, with the album’s title track already climbing into the UK Country Radio Top 10. Kicking off his global Tumbleweed World Tour across the US at the end of 2025, the singer-songwriter continues through Europe early this year, before making his highly anticipated Australian headline debut. 

CD/Vinyl Pre-Order begins Friday 16 January with a release date of Friday 13 March.  Tumbleweed is available to stream now and pre-order via https://drakemilligan.lnk.to/tumbleweed
