Andrew Ray Baldridge better known as Drew Baldridge was born July 29th in Patoka, Illinois. He began performing in local talent contests as a teenager, and moved to Nashville at age 18 to pursue a career in country music. After his record label was shut down that he recorded for he decided to start his own record label in 2020 called Lyric Ridge. His first Lyric Ridge release, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter”, was a song he had originally cut on Cold River Records. Between 2023 and 2024, the song became a viral hit, and went on to become Baldridge’s first top-40 hit on the Billboard country charts. It has become the first Top 10 Country Hit by an artist on his own personally funded record label in the history of the chart. Here is Drew backstage with me at our last Acoustic Concert.
