Rising country-rock artist Bazza Brown has released a new southern anthem, Down South.
Bazza Brown has stepped into a new chapter with his latest single, Down South, a track that reflects his roots and takes ques from the idyllic rural lifestyle and community setting he was blessed to grow up in.
Bazza marked the release of his track with a high-energy launch show in the deep south, featuring acclaimed artist Keily Smith and Southland-favourites Kayson Road, including 2026 Gold Guitar winner Simon Thompson and multi award-winning artist Kayla Mahon.
Listen to Down South, and check out the stunning scenery of the south with Bazza's music video:
Bazza Brown is quickly gaining traction as one of the south’s rising country-rock voices, with early backing from Six60’s Chris Mac. Writing songs shaped by lived experience, Bazza blends country storytelling with the grit and energy of rock, alongside subtle nods to his glam rock and grunge roots. His “trucker” country-rock sound captures the hard work, good times, and quiet moments of life in New Zealand’s deep south.
