One of the newest musicians in the country music scene, Texas native Drake Milligan is introducing himself with a free show at Lee Creek Tavern inside Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland on Saturday, May 20, at 8 p.m.

The show is free and open to the public ages 21 and up.

At 24 years old, Milligan, armed with an appreciation for the history of country music, continues to rise among the country music ranks. The Fort Worth native released his debut EP, “Drake Milligan,” in 2021 after working with industry writing legends Bill Anderson, Dean Dillon, Monty Criswell and more. The EP is stacked with five songs all co-written by Milligan, layered with fiddle and steel in “Over Drinkin’ Under Thinkin’,” and rediscovers the lost art of fast talking in the upbeat “Sounds Like Something I’d Do.” “Don’t Look Down” and “She” showcase his silky vocals in the beautifully simple ballads.

In 2022, Milligan and his band landed on “America’s Got Talent,” where he earned his spot with “Sounds Like Something I’d Do.” He finished in third place in the season. Following the AGT season finale, Millian released his debut album, “Dallas/ Fort Worth,” via Stoney Creek Records, co-produced by awardwinning Tony Brown and Brandon Hood.
