A short while back, my manager and agent arranged for a second music video to be shot for me for promotional and marketing purposes (the same two reasons that all of your other favorite bands and musicians make music videos).

Since I wanted to give something back in the way of what I do, I insisted that it be shot in Bakersfield and the surrounding areas.

You'll be surprised to find out that it's a lot harder to get something like this accomplished in Bakersfield because of certain city ordinances that really make it difficult, economically, for movie people to shoot hear--it's something that few people are aware of that is really hurting the city of Bakersfield.

To make this a shorter story, we DID film here in Bakersfield.  

Since things are starting to move along for me in a good way, I haven't been as able to get out and 'in the scene' as I would like to be.  I'm not sitting up on a pedestal looking down on a bunch of ants...NOT AT ALL!!! I grew up in this town and chose to film in Bakersfield so that people here can be in on something personal, something very few 'rockstars' do--share the benefits of that position with their community.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.

P.S.--On a side note, the song was even recorded at a local recording studio with a local audio engineer!!
