CHAD HARVEY
—AMERICANA HEARTLAND ROCK ARTIST—
RELEASES HIGH-ENERGY MUSIC VIDEO FOR
“GET A LEG UP”
DITTY TV EXCLUSIVELY UNVEILED THE VIDEO YESTERDAY (9/28)
NASHVILLE, TN (September 29, 2020) — Americana heartland rock artist Chad Harvey has released the official music video for his latest single, “Get A Leg Up.” The high-energy video, which exclusively debuted with Ditty TV yesterday, was directed by Mike Yonts and filmed at The Pop Machine Studio and Yonts Films Studio in Indiana, IN. The video highlights moments captured from the recording process and brings a spirited live performance to the forefront.
“A gritty, searing roots rocker that brings together Rolling Stones bravado with a soaring blues and soul sound.”
“I wanted to capture the cool vibe that we had in the studio with Alaina Renea, myself and producer Marc Johnson among others, which I believe we did,” says Harvey. “I also wanted to capture the chemistry between Alaina and I.”
Harvey’s “Get A Leg Up” was produced by GRAMMY®-nominated producer Marc Johnson and penned by John Mellencamp for his Whenever We Wanted (1991) album. Harvey decided to take “Get A Leg Up” into another dimension by arranging it as a duet with female soul singer Alaina Renae. “I wanted to do something to make it different,” notes Harvey. “I thought to myself that this is a conversation between a girl and a guy. It was a fun project that came together very quickly, over a couple of weeks.”
“I’m writing and performing the stories of my life—some truth, some lies, but all real American music,” says the expressive Harvey about his recent Run From The Sound EP. “I want people to come away from my shows thinking this is a roots rock guy that plays with the energy of a punk rock band.” That’s the edge fans can expect from his hard-hitting “Heyburn,” the project’s lead single that caught the ears of Americana Highways which raved: “with a Neo-classic rock style, Chad Harvey will hit you where your heartland vibes live.” American Songwriter backed that sentiment saying, “Harvey carries on the unique sounds that echo from the Heartland. He is a gifted writer with a natural tendency toward a Gibson 6-string and a warm Midwestern drawl that helps tell his stories.” To kick off the album’s promotional efforts, DittyTV partnered with Harvey on the project to debut the official music video for “Heyburn” and aired it on their show “The Curve.”
