Americana singer/songwriter Jessica Willis Fisher reclaims her voice and shares her brave story of survival with her debut album, Brand New Day. The upcoming collection, which features 10 tracks – eight of which are entirely written by her – is the first musical offering from Fisher since appearing in her family band, The Willis Clan.
The lead-off single from the forthcoming solo project, “Fire Song,” represents a vulnerable chapter in Fisher’s life, as she sings of an intense struggle to find a new beginning and escape a dark and tumultuous situation. Co-written with Grammy-award winner Jon Randall, the bold new track gives listeners a glimpse of what to expect from Brand New Day, due out on April 13, 2022.
Before setting out on her solo career, Fisher was the oldest child of The Willis Clan, which included her 11 siblings and their two parents. The children, who were all homeschooled, were also the stars of two reality TV shows (TLC’s The Willis Family and America’s Got Talent). Fisher played a major role in the family touring group as the lead singer, fiddle player, and principal songwriter. She abruptly parted ways in 2016 around the same time her father, Toby Willis, was sentenced to 40 years in jail for child rape and has mainly stayed out of the public eye.
Ready to share more of her story with her fans, Fisher spent time with Country Now to talk about her return to music, her powerful story of survival, her upcoming album, and more.
