Drew & Ellie Holcomb Join NEEDTOBREATHE On ‘The Long Surrender’ Amphitheater Tour

Drew & Ellie Holcomb have a full year of road ahead. Currently mid-run on their Never Gonna Let You Go headline tour, the Americana duo will step into a supporting role this summer as special guests on NEEDTOBREATHE’s The Long Surrender tour, a nationwide amphitheater run opening August 12 in Maryland Heights, Missouri, and closing September 20 in Greenville, South Carolina.

The pairing makes sense on every level. Drew and Ellie are longtime friends and collaborators with NEEDTOBREATHE, and the connection runs deep. Ellie’s song “Hope’s Gonna Find You” was co-written with Cason Cooley and NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear Rinehart, and appears on her solo album ‘Far Country.’ Drew put it plainly: “This new album feels like a homecoming for them. It’s raw, vulnerable, and anthemic in all the ways we’ve come to love and respect.”

The duo is touring in support of ‘Memory Bank,’ their first full-length album together, released in 2025 and recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium with producer Cason Cooley. Blending Drew’s road-tested songwriting with Ellie’s emotionally resonant voice, the album marked a defining moment in their creative partnership. Drew has also been building momentum with collaborative track “Mississippi River Bluebird” alongside Jonah Kagen, which has been gaining traction since its release.

The Never Gonna Let You Go headline run continues through May 16, with two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville closing out that stretch. The Long Surrender amphitheater dates follow in August, hitting Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 14 and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on August 18 among the highlights.
