As Pride Month comes to a close, out country music artist Chris Housman is ending the celebration on a high with the release of his music video for “High Hopes.” The playful track, from his critically-acclaimed debut album, Blueneck, offers a refreshing take on the heaviness of the world with his banjo-driven instrumentation. The new music video finds the out singer/songwriter scouring The Troubling Times before finding his “High Hopes.” But even amid the onslaught of bad news, Housman finds a way to bring life back into balance. Shot in downtown Chattanooga on one of only four operational carousels in the state of Tennessee, the 100-year old amusement park ride offered the perfect aesthetic for the recreational video. Featured this week on “CBS Sunday Morning’s” digital platforms, Housman shares:
“In a world where there seems to be a new catastrophic event every day, I had the idea for this song from a level of peace I strive for in life – a place where no amount of bad news today can take away my ‘High Hopes’ for a better tomorrow.”
I covered Housman’s oh-so-romantic ‘date night’ themed video/single “Guilty As Sin” here. This guy is easily one of my favorite new discoveries in recent years, and I definitely look forward to new releases from the handsome crooner.
