The Ballad of Uncle Drank

Audio Up’s newest country-musical scripted podcast stars veteran actors Will Sasso, Billy Zane, Luke Wilson, the outlaw legend Kinky Friedman, Brian Kelley and features rising comedienne Chelcie Lynn. This first-of-its-kind comedy will launch in August of 2022 and will feature an original soundtrack released through Audio Up. 

This 8-episode series gives a new comedic take on the music industry throughout the 1970’s, ’80s and ’90s. Artists and fans alike tell the somewhat true-life adventures of long forgotten country superstar UNCLE DRANK - who was a lovable, free-spirited beach musician who traveled the world with his best friend BLENDY - a talking blender… and then mysteriously disappeared in 1992.  

One part Kenny Chesney - one part Kenny Powers, Uncle Drank’s music and story will take listeners on an adventure through an era that time has forgot. Before Jimmy Buffett ate a cheeseburger in paradise and Kenny Chesney sang about having no shoes, no shirt and no problems... there was UNCLE DRANK. 

Following the podcast’s debut episode, original tracks will be released every Friday with the full soundtrack available after the finale.
