HATTIESBURG, MISS. / NASHVILLE, TENN. – Last week Big Loud Partner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Craig Wiseman was honored with a Mississippi Country Music Trail Marker. The marker is located in Midtown Green Park in Hattiesburg as part of the Mississippi Country Music Trail which commemorates legends, venues and landmarks that have shaped Mississippi’s impact on country music. Wiseman was also presented with a key to the city and March 27 proclaimed Craig Wiseman Day in Hattiesburg.
“To be honored like this in the place where it all began—it’s hard to put into words,” shared Wiseman. “Hattiesburg gave me the roots I needed to chase big dreams, and I’ll always carry this city with me. This moment, this marker, this bandshell—it all means the world.”
Continuing his legacy of philanthropy, part of the day’s celebration included the dedication of the Midtown Green Bandshell in Wiseman’s honor – made possible through his personal investment and giving back to his hometown.
