About me
Steeped in the traditions of roots music, songwriter Sterling Drake’s journey has taken him from the Big Cypress of south Florida to the mountains of western Montana and everywhere in between. With a penchant for honest storytelling, Sterling weaves his own perspective into the American songbook, highlighting a strong sense of place through natural imagery and cultural context. With influences ranging from Willie Nelson to Lead Belly, his inspiration is as diverse as American music itself. Spurred on by a passion for the cowboy lifestyle, Sterling partners with nonprofit land conservation and mental health advocacy groups to highlight issues impacting the ranching community. Sterling is joined on stage by Thorleifur Gaukur Davidsson (harmonica, guitar) and Ryan Stigmon (steel guitar, dobro).
