FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brian Milligram Returns After 10 Years with “Silly Little Things” — Out August 22, 2025
Nashville, TN — August 22, 2025 — After a decade-long absence from releasing new music, Brian Milligram makes a powerful return with his first single in ten years, “Silly Little Things.” The song is the first glimpse of his forthcoming album Still Frames, currently in the works and set to be released in the near future.
Known for writing “sad songs that make sad people happy,” Brian has long stood out for his lyrical depth, drawing comparisons to Phil Ochs, Billy Bragg, and Frank Turner. His songs offer a raw, unflinching honesty—grappling with the grit of life while still finding comfort in its quiet resilience.
The story behind “Silly Little Things” is as poignant as the music itself. In 2020, Brian’s father passed away from COVID-19 during the early days of the pandemic. The loss led to a period of depression and isolation, eventually pushing him to leave Nashville and move to Richmond, VA, where he reconnected with his twin brother and began to rebuild. By 2024, Brian returned to Nashville renewed—finding peace, perspective, and his voice once more.
"Silly Little Things" isn’t just a song; it’s a reminder to notice what truly matters, Milligram says. It’s a thank-you letter to the people, places, and fleeting moments that create real joy.
Both deeply personal and universally resonant, “Silly Little Things” marks the beginning of a new chapter in Brian’s artistry—one that blends the sharp honesty of his past with the hard-won gratitude of his present.
“Silly Little Things” is available everywhere August 22, 2025.
