Heath Forbes Returns to the Music Scene with Three New Singles, Proving That Sometimes the Best Comebacks Take Time

Nashville, Tennessee Aug 30, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - The former University of Louisiana at Monroe football player turned musician has officially "un-retired" and is making waves in Nashville with a string of compelling new releases that showcase both his artistic growth and unwavering dedication to authentic storytelling. Heath Forbes' return couldn't be more timely. With 2025 marking a notable resurgence for independent Americana artists, the music industry is clearly hungry for the kind of honest, rootsy sound that Heath delivers. His latest singles demonstrate exactly why the Nashville scene is buzzing about his comeback.

Heath Forbes journey back wasn't easy. After releasing his debut album, Caught in the Middle, in 2011 and building momentum through tours with prominent Red Dirt artists, Heath secured a record deal in 2012 that seemed destined for success. Many artists would have walked away when the label unexpectedly folded, leaving Heath at the beginning. Instead, Heath took time to regroup, continuing to write and play around Nashville while stockpiling material that would eventually become his triumphant return.

His comeback began with "Living Like Outlaws," released in 2024, followed by "The Reason" on Valentine's Day 2025, and most recently his take on The Go-Go's "This Town" in August 2025. Each release showcases the depth of his artistry while maintaining a voice that draws from his diverse influences, including Tom Petty, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Jerry Reed.

What sets Heath apart is his unique dual life as both a full-time musician and part-time pit crew member for a touring World of Outlaws race team. This unusual combination not only inspired "Living Like Outlaws" but also adds an authentic edge to his music that resonates with audiences seeking genuine experiences revolving around the lifestyle.

With Nashville's music scene being more eclectic than ever, Heath Forbes blend of classic country, rock & roll, and 90s alternative influences positions him perfectly within the current landscape. His regular performances in downtown Nashville have been building a dedicated following while he prepares to release additional material from his extensive catalog of studio-ready tracks.

Rather than rushing out a full album, Heath will continue releasing singles to maintain momentum and allow each song to find its audience. This approach reflects both the modern music industry's streaming-focused landscape and his hard-earned wisdom about the importance of sustainable career building.

For an artist who once thought his breakthrough moment had passed, Heath Forbes is now positioned for a career that may be more rewarding than anything he could have imagined in 2012. Sometimes the best comebacks are the ones that take time to get right.
