breakout Country star and actor, Drake Milligan released his highly anticipated EP, Jukebox Songs. A nostalgic and one-of-a-kind record rooted in timelessness, Jukebox Songs features the Texas native’s “Don’t Leave Me Loving You” and “I Got A Problem.”
Following on the heels of Milligan’s appearance on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League earlier this season, and produced by Trent Willmon, Jukebox Songs bridges Milligan’s unique melodic voice and fiery twang into four brand-new tracks.
Milligan will also be releasing a short film titled “Drake Milligan in Girl Trouble,” featuring influencers Gabi Butler and Piper Lee, which will premiere on Tuesday, February 20 via YouTube followed by a livestream afterparty. The miniseries will serve as companions to the tracks to further enhance the immersive listening experience of Milligan’s latest body of work.
“I’m so excited for everyone to hear Jukebox Songs, this project was a labor of love and brought out a new creative side of me,” said Milligan. “As an entertainer, there is nothing I love more than hearing people sing back to me at shows, and I can’t wait to perform these brand-new songs to audiences across the world this year.”
Ahead of embarking as a special guest opener on 10 dates of Cody Johnson’s “The Leather Tour,”Milligan will also be making his first appearance in Germany and returning to the Country to Country (C2C) stage in Berlin, Rotterdam, Belfast, Glasgow and ending at The O2 Arena in London. This all comes after the completion of Milligan’s first Canadian Tour at the end of last year, which kicked off with the artist landing his first-ever #1 at Country radio for his single “Honky Tonkin’ About” alongside multi-PLATINUM duo The Reklaws.
With no signs of slowing down, fans can catch Milligan on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League for a special season finale performance Monday, February 19, and throughout 2024 through a series of headlining shows, festivals, and more.
