All Country News is excited to exclusively premiere the brand-new video for “MAKERS,” the latest single from Canadian-born, Nashville-bred rising country star Drew Taylor. The track has already been buzzing thanks to its warm, whiskey-soaked metaphors and irresistible pull, and now the story comes to life on screen, smoky, neon-lit, and full of the kind of chemistry you don’t forget.
“MAKERS” likens unexpected spark to a slow Kentucky pour, a theme Taylor leans into with vivid storytelling and that signature gravel-meets-grit vocal tone fans have come to love. “From that first pour to the last dance, she hits him like a smooth Kentucky blend,” Taylor explains. “Every sip and every kiss blur the line between whiskey buzz and falling in love.” It’s a song that lingers, bold, warm, and unforgettable, just like that iconic red wax.
The video brings that feeling to life in a way that feels lived-in and cinematic. Set inside an old Tennessee bar with low lights, neon signs, and a little haze in the air, Taylor performs with his band while living out the song’s storyline. Between shots of him sipping Maker’s at the bar and crowding in with the band on stage, we see the moment that kicks everything in motion: a man catching sight of a beautiful woman across the room just as he throws back a drink. From there, the spark turns into something more. They talk, share a pour of Maker’s, laugh in a way that’s impossible to fake, and drift effortlessly into their own world. A game of pool becomes an excuse to get close. A jukebox slow-dance becomes the moment they can’t ignore the pull any longer. And just as the song reaches its emotional peak, the story closes with a kiss, the kind that leaves a mark as lasting as the red wax itself.
For Taylor, crafting a video that felt like a real memory was the mission. “We shot ‘MAKERS’ like a story you’d live through,” he shares. “Real emotions, real drinks, real connection. I wanted it to feel like the kind of night that stays with you long after the song fades.”
“MAKERS” arrives at a pivotal moment in Taylor’s career. Freshly signed to T&L Records Nashville and already racking up streaming success, radio wins, and stage time with icons like Kane Brown and Tanya Tucker, Taylor is stepping into his new chapter with momentum and authenticity. Born in Waterloo, Ontario, he grew up with country music in his DNA, his father played alongside legends like George Strait and Kenny Rogers, but his path was anything but predictable. From fronting a Screamo band to serving as a fireman and entrepreneur, Taylor’s road to Nashville was built on grit, reinvention, and sheer passion.
Over the last few years, he’s stacked one win after another: Wildcard Winner of the 2022 Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase, a #1 hit on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country with “Wish I Didn’t,” and a string of fan-favorite releases including “Music To My Beers,” “Nobody I Know,” and “Get The Truck Outta Here.” On stage, he’s shared spotlights with everyone from Tanya Tucker to Paul Brandt to Kane Brown, proving that his blend of clever lyricism and modern country production can captivate any crowd. Through it all, Drew Taylor has stayed focused on one mission: connecting with the people who listen. “If a song touches somebody, then I’ve done my job,” he says, a philosophy that’s written all over “MAKERS.”
With this new single and video, Drew Taylor isn’t just continuing his rise, he’s cementing himself as one of the most compelling new voices shaping the next chapter of country music. And if “MAKERS” is any indication of what’s ahead, the pour is only getting smoother from here.
