Performer Description
The journey of songwriter Sterling Drake has taken him from the Big Cypress of Florida to the mountains of Montana and everywhere in between. With a penchant for honest storytelling, Drake weaves his own perspective into the American songbook, prompting Rolling Stone to praise his “rough-hewn aesthetics." Last year, Drake took home Honky Tonk Artists 2024 at the Ameripolitan Awards in Austin, TX's Moody Theater. Sterling is teaming up with land conservation and mental health advocacy groups to address issues impacting the ranching community.

Showcase Description
Our showcase will be comprised of a fluid four piece band comprised of Icelandic 4 time grammy winning multi-instrumentalist Thorleifur Gaukur Davidsson (Harmonica, Pedal Steel, Dobro, classical guitar), Ovando Montana native Adin Kloetzel (Mandolin, Piano, Pump Organ), Norbet McGettigan III (Upright Bass, Vocals), Sterling Drake (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo), Berkley graduate, Sam Palermo (Percussion)
Our songs range from old time Traditionals to contemporary originals touching on existential themes. The music often highlights social and environmental issues facing the west such as mental health in ranching and ranch land conservation.
This year I was the recipient of the Montana Arts Councils Strategy Investments grant to help fund my LP 'The Shape I'm In' releasing May 2nd.
