Little Bihlman Returns with Soul-Baring Single “Fade Away”
Emmy-winning musician Scot Bihlman distills decades of road-tested experience into raw Americana

Emmy-winning multi-instrumentalist Little Bihlman, also known as Scot Bihlman, has returned with his latest single, “Fade Away,” a track that captures the highs, lows, and long nights of a career in music with unflinching honesty. Stripped-down and emotionally charged, the song reflects an artist who has lived it all and emerged with something real to say.
Bihlman describes the track in his own words:
“Fade Away carries the weight of long nights on the road, empty green rooms, cramped vans, missed calls, and fleeting highs, the real stuff that fuels a lifetime in music. And yet there’s a looseness to it. A freedom. You can hear it in the way the drums snap, the way his voice rides the edge of each phrase. It’s not about proving anything. It’s about telling the truth.”
Known for his work with Grinder Blues and The Bihlman Bros., Bihlman has shared stages with John Fogerty, BB King, Jelly Roll, and Trey Anastasio. His music has also appeared in over 30 TV placements, including Sons of Anarchy and Burn Notice. His sound blends blues grit, heartland rock, and raw Americana spirit — what he calls “motorcycle poetry for truth-seekers.”

“Fade Away” is the first taste of his upcoming solo album, Heavy Head, produced by Miles Fulwider and set for release in 2025. The song’s stripped-back approach emphasizes the immediacy of emotion over polish, with snapping drums and Bihlman’s voice riding the edges of each phrase. It’s a song that speaks to the lived realities of life on the road while remaining profoundly free and expressive.
With this single, Bihlman proves once again why he is a vital voice in contemporary Americana. “Fade Away” lingers long after it ends, a track that feels lived-in, heartfelt, and undeniably true. It’s not just a song — it’s a statement: an artist reflecting on his journey and inviting listeners to experience every fleeting high, every quiet struggle, and the unvarnished truth in between.
