I have to thank Brad at Prehistoric Productions for bringing some very much needed imagery to this song by finishing this lyric video for “That's How You Country”

How do you country? Cowtippin', hand fishin', nature buzzin' & singin' granny's cookin' two steppin' to your familiar old favorite country song. Is it the long hours sacrificed in the fields or maybe those late nights with a band letting loose on a fall evening with no last call? We all come from humble beginnings with this song hitting home right in the heart of who we are as free people. Free to love our country and pray that the seeds we plant today grow up to have strong roots. This song is a funny, patriotic, sing a long song that a person can drive to, cry to, and truly be proud to just be country. That's How You Country

Thanks you all so much for all your continued love and support so here is the final cut for our music video “Lets Get Gone” click on the title to watch..... ENJOY AND SHARE
As the anticipation of the band started to take over we loaded off the tour bus and set up for our sound check a couple hours prior to showtime. We got to hang out with the band and reminisce about previous shows, road trips and the similarities between all musicians we share in love for music. I was backstage when I could hear the crowd start to grow when the doors opened at 7 and my heart began to race. The film crew was double checking their cameras and nervous jokes began to take over the room prior to the masters of ceremonies checking their wireless mics from backstage. As the lights began to dim a symbol of Jarrid Lee popped up on the big screen with beams of light began shining through clouds of smoke that filled the stage. Bruce “The Moose” Makokis read out Jarrid Lee’s bio and the band set up prior to hearing the final welcoming remarks let’s welcome to the stage Chief & Council. With drums beating and a strong E chord filled the River Cree Venue... a very emotional Jarrid Lee took the stage and commanded an excited crowd welcoming back everybody to a night of great music that we have all been waiting for.
Tanya Tucker being a legend in country music got everybody on their feet as the sun set on the prairies making this concert one of the best Jarrid Lee has played to date. Click HERE to see pictures of the event.

After getting the call to head down to Nashville there was very little time to waste and when there is quick change that also brings quick opportunity. Marcella and I drove to North Dakota and flew from there and since it’s been more than a minute since I flew the doggy bag for nausea was my best friend. We had 6 days to make the best of our trip so we wrote 4 songs, met the amazing people behind the record label and planned out attack on the cities best sites. We went to the Country Music Hall of Fame, walked Broadway, did the backstage tour at The Grand Ol Opry and of course had to take in a good old hockey game. There were a lot of times when I didn’t feel worthy and still to this day I don’t know why I chosen but I will do my best and when the time comes we will be there on stage doing what it is we are destined to do with living my life’s purpose. I am a compassionate warrior leading others through knowledge wisdom and healing to help light up the world. To watch a quick clip of the trip please Click HERE
