Sterling Drake

Sterling Drake is a roots-based country singer-songwriter known for his honest storytelling and deep connection to traditional music. Born in Florida, he moved west to pursue ranching and horsemanship, eventually settling in Montana. His music reflects his diverse influences, ranging from Willie Nelson to Lead Belly, and is characterized by a blend of western swing, honky-tonk heartache, and dance hall treasures. Sterling's live performances are a testament to his eclectic style, reflecting the various musical traditions he has encountered throughout his travels.

Sterling Drake's artistic journey is marked by a passion for the cowboy lifestyle and a commitment to bridging old and new musical traditions. He has performed across North America, including rodeos and honky-tonks, and is particularly drawn to playing in lesser-known venues where his music is deeply appreciated. Recent projects include his EP "Live from the Station Inn" and a live performance of Jon Anderson's "Seminole Wind." Sterling is also involved with nonprofit organizations focused on land conservation and mental health advocacy within the ranching community.
