Video Premiere: “Run” – Matt Nathanson Ft. Sugarland

Jeanna D. — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:58:08 +0000

Singer-songwriter, Matt Nathanson, celebrated the world premiere of the music video for his single, “Run,” yesterday. The track features Sugarland with Jennifer Nettles lending her smooth vocals, and appears on Nathanson’s latest album, Modern Love.

Nathanson is currently on tour opening for Kelly Clarkson on the Stronger Tour, and is also out on the road for his All Night Noise Tour. I had the pleasure of seeing Nathanson perform on the Stronger Tour back in January. He is a very talented artist with excellent stage presence, and he also happens to be extremely funny. If you have seen him live, you probably understand the quick shot of the scrabble board in the new video for “Run.”

Meanwhile, country super duo, Sugarland, will be hitting the road in April for their In Your Hands Tour. In addition, Nettles will be one of the judges/mentors on ABC’s upcoming show, Duets, along with Clarkson, Lionel Richie, and Robin Thicke.

Video Picks Of The Week: March 13, 2012

Jeanna D. — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:03:27 +0000

Hi friends…

It’s time for our “Video Picks of the Week.”

Music Video

This week’s music video is Jack Ingram, “Lips Of An Angel.” The song was originally sung and made popular by the rock band, Hinder. Ingram later gave the song his own spin and earned himself a country hit with his version. The track served as the lead single off of his album, This is It.

I have always enjoyed Ingram’s version and it introduced me to his music back in 2006.

Live Performance

Matt Nathanson‘s song “Run” appears on his most recent album, Modern Love. The track features Sugarland with Jennifer Nettles providing the vocals for the duet.

Nathanson is currently on tour opening for Kelly Clarkson on the Stronger Tour, and is also out on the road for his All Night Noise Tour. For several stops on the Stronger Tour, he brought out singer-songwriter Ashley Arrison to perform the duet. This week’s live video is their performance of “Run” in Grand Prairie, Texas.

I saw Matt on the Stronger Tour back in January. Besides being a great performer and musician, he is also hilarious. He has fantastic stage presence, and he had the audience’s full attention during his set. For tour dates visit: http://www.mattnathanson.com/modernlove/.

Ashley Arrison is not only a super talented singer-songwriter, she also is one of the nicest people. I have been following her career for the last few years, and I met her earlier this year as well. I seriously cannot say enough good things. Check out her album, Hearts On Parade, and stay tuned for new music expected out this year.

Cover Song

This week’s cover is Mitch Gallagher’s version of Eric Church‘s single, “Springsteen.” Mitch is a country music singer-songwriter who moved to Nashville in 2010 to work on his music career. He released his first iTunes single last fall entitled, “Just Like Heaven,” and the song made its way into the rotation at various radio stations.
