Drew Baldridge Hosts Three Farm Shows

Drew Baldridge recently hosted three free farm shows in Tennessee, Iowa and Utah, celebrating his new album, FARM FAITH FAMILY.

“FARM FAITH FAMILY is about the things that matter most to me, and so much of that comes back to the people and places that shaped who I am,” said Baldridge. “When I asked fans to nominate their farms, I never expected the response we got. Getting to show up in these communities, play some songs and spend time with the people who support my music is what it’s all about. These are the places and people that inspired this album, so getting to bring it to life right there with them means a lot to me.”

Alana Springsteen has partnered with the mental health nonprofit To Write Love On Her Arms. Springsteen’s “Choose Yourself” merchandise is now available online with a portion of the proceeds benefitting TWLOHA.

“I always hoped this music would find its way to the people who needed it, and I couldn’t think of a better way to make that happen than partnering with To Write Love On Her Arms,” shares Springsteen. “For 20 years, they’ve worked to raise awareness and expand access to mental health care, and I’m so grateful we got to play a small part in that mission. Through their partnership with BetterHelp, we were able to offer free therapy at every stop on the I HOPE THIS HELPS TOUR. The ‘Choose Yourself’ shirt and hat we designed together are a beautiful reminder of what this partnership is all about – encouraging people to prioritize themselves and reminding them they’re never alone.”
