185: Drew Holcomb and Audrey Assad: Vulnerable Art
“Sometimes artists have to take a chance and be vulnerable.”
Drew Holcomb and Audrey Assad are two such artists, whose brilliance is in large part due to their vulnerability.
Drew was once heralded by Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s most popular stars,” and yet he is quick to note that “the human heart was not built for notoriety.” He describes the complex road he took to full-time artistry, his relationship with his fans, the tragic loss of his brother, and more.
Audrey found success in the Christian music industry, until her quest for authenticity and truth led her in a new direction. She shares her story, speaking honestly about traumas and doubts that brought her to where she is now.
