Drake Milligan

Drake Milligan, an American singer working in blues, country and folk, performs in Manchester at Manchester Academy, with Josh Weathers also named on the bill. The concert brings a recorded catalogue that begins with a 2022 debut album to the city.

Drake Milligan is an American singer, born in 1988, whose music sits in blues, country and folk. The debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, released in 2022, opened the recorded catalogue under this name, and its title places the record in Texas. Anyone new to the work can start with that album, which is the first release in the catalogue.

The bill also names Josh Weathers alongside Drake Milligan, so the evening brings two names from the same bill to Manchester. Both artists are presented together on this date, and the programme places their music within the blues, country and folk tradition.

Manchester Academy hosts concerts and shows in Manchester, and this evening adds a blues, country and folk concert to that programme. It is a practical choice for listeners who want to hear the recorded songs performed in a Manchester venue that books live music throughout the year.
