In the heart of Munich, Germany, a unique blend of rock, pop, country, and singer-songwriter styles is taking shape, forming what the band Big S affectionately calls “Highway Rock.” Drawing inspiration from legends like Tom Petty, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, and Bryan Adams, Big S is carving out its own niche in the music world with their classic yet fresh sound.
At the helm of Big S is the talented Steve Maier, a musician and songwriter whose guitar riffs and vocals have become the backbone of the band’s identity. Over the years, Steve has gathered a collection of songs that not only showcase his skill but also tell a story. These stories, often reflecting the darker sides of life on tour and the reality of an artist’s existence, are the soul of Big S’s music.
Their music is a testament to authenticity, as they prioritize honest and handmade sound over the allure of technology and loops. This commitment to genuine music-making has resonated with fans and critics alike, earning them accolades such as first place in the Country Rock category at the European Country Music Awards in 2018.
Big S’s latest single, “Born & Wild,” is set to be the first release from their upcoming EP, scheduled for release on April 15, 2024. The song is a contemplative piece that touches on the fast-paced nature of today’s world and the desire to find a quieter, more authentic space. “Sometimes I feel like running away into a calmer space, quiet and real,” sings Steve, capturing a sentiment many can relate to in our bustling lives.
The accompanying music video for “Born & Wild” offers a visual representation of this escape, inviting viewers to close their eyes and fly to their own hiding point, away from the stress of daily life. You can watch the video here and experience the journey for yourself.
