In the organizer's words:

Dynamic, energetic and absolutely captivating - that's DRAKE MILLIGAN live on stage! The talented singer-songwriter brings a breath of fresh air to the country music scene by combining traditional sounds with a captivating pinch of rock 'n' roll. His unique style has been well received by fans, fellow musicians and the media alike. With numerous appearances on renowned TV shows, a highly successful debut album and impressive chart successes, the Texas-born artist can already look back on a remarkable career. He was also nominated in the "Breakthrough Male Video of the Year" category at the 2023 CMT Awards. German country fans had their first opportunity to see his extraordinary talent for themselves at the C2C: Country to Country Festival 2024 in Berlin. In 2025, he will return to Germany and perform in Munich on 24.02., in Cologne on 25.02. and in Hamburg on 26.02.

Influenced by his father's country albums, DRAKE MILLIGAN made his first career move in the CMT series "Sun Records", in which he played the young Elvis Presley in 2017. After moving to Music City, he took part in "American Idol" and received his first record deal shortly afterwards. In 2022, he conquered the national music scene with his debut album "Dallas/Fort Worth" and reached number 5 in the Billboard Emerging Artists charts. In the UK, the album spent an impressive 11 weeks in the Top 20 of the Country Artists Album Charts. His single "Sounds Like Something I'd Do" has been streamed over 40 million times on Spotify. He topped the iTunes country song and all-genre charts twice and took several top spots in the iTunes country video charts. He has also appeared on the Kelly Clarkson Show, the Grand Ole Opry and the CMA Music Festival and was a finalist on season 17 of America's Got Talent. DRAKE MILLIGAN finally returned to primetime television for the spin-off show "America's Got Talent: Fantasy League".

He describes himself as a neo-traditional country artist and not only represents the timeless aesthetic of country, but is helping to shape the genre by setting new trends that appeal to all country fans. His latest EP "Jukebox Songs" was released in February 2024 and showcases the impressive range of his baritone voice - sometimes gentle and sensitive, sometimes powerful and rousing. The four songs are characterized by classic intensity and diverse country soul and create a feeling of light-heartedness and pure joie de vivre.

In February 2025, fans will have the opportunity to experience DRAKE MILLIGAN up close in Germany. At three unforgettable concerts, he will thrill his audience with a selection of rousing songs that showcase both his musical versatility and his impressive stage presence.
