Debut Single “Here In This Town” – Out Now!
“Here In This Town” – A Powerful Anthem of Resilience, Redemption, and Hope
(Nashville, Tennessee – June 20, 2025) — Bizz Bigsby, the multifaceted artist known for blending country, soul, blues, and rock, has released his highly anticipated new single, “Here In This Town.” Written by Bigsby and Phil Hughley, the song is a reflection on the personal journey of resilience, forgiveness, and finding strength in the face of adversity. This single, available here, is the first of several upcoming releases leading up to Bigsby’s full album, which is set for release on September 19, 2025.
“Here In This Town” is a powerful anthem of hope, resonating deeply with anyone who has faced personal hardship, the breakdown of relationships, the loss of community, and the weight of feeling misunderstood. Through evocative lyrics, Bigsby conveys the inner turmoil of watching life unravel while maintaining an unwavering determination to rise above it all.
The song’s symbolic “rose in the concrete” represents the beauty and growth that can emerge from even the harshest environments. Bigsby’s music has always drawn from his deeply personal experiences, and this single serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit, encouraging listeners to hold on to their dreams and believe in better days ahead.
“I originally wrote this song about what has happened to my neighborhood since the interstate came through and destroyed the community in the 1970s,” says Bigsby. “It’s ultimately about redemption and forgiveness, and applies to any situation where a person feels like ‘a rose in the concrete growing against all the odds.’ It’s about forgiveness and knowing that something is bigger than you.”
For Bigsby, music has been a lifeline—a source of expression and strength through a childhood marked by tragedy and hardship. Born Wendell Bigsby in North Nashville, Bizz was raised by his grandmother and her sisters, with his father—a musician who performed with legends like Little Richard—remaining a distant yet profound influence. Tragically, Bizz witnessed his mother being shot at age four, setting the stage for a tumultuous life that included battling addiction from a young age. Despite these struggles, music became his guiding light, influencing his unique style.
The striking way in which he blends the soul and R&B legacy of Jefferson Street with the storytelling traditions of country and blues creates a new sound that can best be described as “Urban Americana”, drawing listeners in with its raw emotion and authenticity. Today, Bizz is an accomplished artist, entertainer, and songwriter, whose music is influenced by everyone from Sam Cooke to George Jones to James Taylor.
Bigsby is the eldest son of Nashville R&B icon Jimmy Church, who invited a young Bizz to tour with him and his band. While running lights for his dad’s show, the lead singer got sick, and his dad asked Bizz to fill in for two nights. Those two shows turned into five years, opening for such artists as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Little Richard. This experience on stage helped shape Bizz’s musical career and introduced him to a life on the road, performing in front of massive crowds.
Bigsby has found his unique voice as a songwriter since overcoming his battle with cocaine and alcohol addiction twelve years ago. His music tells the story of his journey with, at times, brutal honesty. Yet, ultimately, he inspires with his message of hope and faith, leaving the listener feeling positive and inspired by the possibility of redemption. “Here In This Town” is a reflection of his unbreakable spirit and a call to rise above the odds.
“I’m not telling these stories because they are about me,” explains Bigsby, “I’m telling them because I’m no different than anybody else, and if I can come through this, then you can come through this. I want my music to bring hope to the hopeless, because when I was there, I was hopeless too.”
