Burlington, NC - January 11, 2016 - North Carolina's BIG Something have premiered their new single "Passenger" today via Glide Magazine. The song is the second from the band's forthcoming album, Tumbleweed, which will be released via Truth Serum Records on February 24th, 2017 and is now available for pre-order.

"'Passenger' is one of my favorite tracks on the album because of its North Carolina flavor. We have all come to love Carolina and call it home even though several of us are not originally from here," drummer Ben Vinograd shares."We're always surrounded by such great roots and Americana music here and that definitely seeped into our subconscious on this track."

Vocalist Nick MacDaniels adds: "This is probably the most unique sounding track on the album with its bluegrass shuffle and country twang, but at its core there's still a tried and true Big Something rock song about watching life pass you by."

"I feel like 'Passenger' hits really close to home. The lyrics are so relatable for so many situations that life can throw at you. It's a song that everyone can relate to on some level," concludes guitarist Jesse Hensley.

A 6 piece powerhouse consisting of Ben Vinograd (drums), Doug Marshall (bass), Josh Kagel (keys, trumpet), Casey Cranford (saxophone, EWI), Jesse Henlsey (lead guitar), and Nick MacDaniels (vocals, guitar), BIG Something presents a sound that is both unique and timeless, fusing elements of rock, pop, funk, and improvisation to take listeners on a journey through a myriad of musical styles. It's no secret why this group has quickly become one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the southeast; soaring guitars, synths, horns and alluring vocal hooks rise to the top of their infectious collection of songs and represent a sound that has caught the ears of such revered Summer circuit stalwarts as Galactic, moe., Robert Randolph, and even The B52s, who have all tapped BIG Something as direct support.

BIG Something has previously been featured on Relix Magazine, Guitar World, Glide Magazine, JamBase, ArtistDirect, and more. Their third full-length studio album - Truth Serum - was named 2014 Album of the Year by The Homegrown Music Network, making BIG Something the only band ever to win this award 3 times with 3 different releases (2010, 2013, and 2014).

Their forthcoming album Tumbleweed was recorded with the help of Grammy-nominated producer John Custer (Corrosion of Conformity, DAG, Cry of Love). On working with Custer, MacDaniels shares: "This was our 4th album working with our ever amazing producer - John Custer. He helped guide the project and these songs to new life in so many subtle but distinct ways. His ear for harmonies and little extra layers to enhance the production is mind blowing. He projects this zen state of 'badassness' and that always comes out in our performance and final mix too."

BIG Something will release their fourth studio album, Tumbleweed, on February 24th, 2017 via Truth Serum Records.
