Dustin Lynch releases video for "Seein' Red"



Nashville, Tenn. (November 30, 2016) – Broken Bow Records’ artist DUSTIN LYNCH brings the blood-pumping lust of “Seein’ Red” to life in an epic new music video, a sizzling clip making its exclusive world premiere today (11/30) on Entertainment Tonight and ETonline.com.

Additional behind-the-scenes footage can also be found on ETonline.com today, with the full-length video airing on this weekend’s episodes of CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown (12/3 and 12/4) and going wide to all music video platforms on Monday (12/5).

Mixing performance shots of the proven superstar with hot-and-heavy love scenes and an explosive finish, the “Seein’ Red” video is full of edgy and epic romantic fantasies, the perfect representation of Lynch’s latest single – already a hit – as the artist heads into the release of his third studio album.

“This was by far THE most fun I've ever had on a video set,” shares Lynch. “Getting to perform with my band and capture what 'Seein’ Red’ is all about … hot, sexy, steamy, love energy … was epic. Crank it up!" 

Filmed in Nashville and directed by Adam Rothlein (Blake Shelton’s “She’s Got a Way With Words,” The Avett Brothers’ “Another Is Waiting”), the new video is filmed largely in a pristine white room with a single red wall. Tempting images of Lynch with a crimson-clad beauty fire across its surface, but as the pressure builds something has to give – and it eventually does in dramatic fashion.

Written by Kurt Allison, Steve Bogard, Tully Kennedy and Jason Sever, the sleek and sexy “Seein’ Red” marks a modern shift in the traditional-country lover’s sound which has already been embraced by fans. It’s currently on the verge of breaking into the Top 15 at country radio. 

As the first single from Lynch’s upcoming third studio album, “Seein’ Red” was also released to rave reviews, with Rolling Stone praising Lynch's vocals as "one of his most soulful and assured to date” and Taste of Country proclaiming the song "unapologetically sexy." It follows the three-peat GOLD and PLATINUM success of singles “Where It’s At,” “Hell of a Night” and “Mind Reader” from his sophomore album, WHERE IT’S AT.

Meanwhile, Lynch has racked up an impressive 55 million views on YouTube/VEVO, 150 million plus streams on Spotify, soared to #1 on the MTV Music Meter and sold over 3 million digital singles to date. And starting in January of 2017, Lynch will pass another career milestone, touring as the featured support act on Florida Georgia Line’s massive DIG YOUR ROOTS TOUR.

Craig Campbell performs "Outskirts of Heaven" at the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade!


Nashville, Tenn. (November 29, 2016) – RED BOW Records’ Craig Campbell celebrated Thanksgiving this year with a riveting performance of his current single “Outskirts of Heaven” at the 83rd Annual McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago, IL, which aired nationally on WGN America (11/24). The only country music artist featured in the parade, Campbell joined HBO’s “Veep” star Matt Walsh, Showtime’s “Shameless” actress Emma Kenney, Harlem Globetrotters and Miss Illinois among others. Immediately following his performance, Campbell took to the streets to surprise parade attendees with Starbucks’ gift cards to give thanks for all of the blessings in his life as seen on his Facebook page here.
“Performing in Chicago’s historic parade, with my wife Mindy and girls in the audience, was a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving,” said Campbell.  “I’m blessed to have a family to celebrate with and opportunities like this. I decided to spread my good fortune with others by paying it forward and surprising people with Starbucks gift cards. It was fun for me and really brightened some people’s day. I overheard one security guy saying it was the best gift he’d ever received! Aside from not being able to find a Chicago pizza place that was open…it was a great Thanksgiving!”
Campbell made his NBC’s TODAY debut earlier this year with “Outskirts of Heaven” (Campbell, Dave Turnball) and the powerful song has racked up rave reviews with fans praising; “brought me to tears,” “gave me chills,” and claimed “this is what country music is supposed to sound like.”
Following 2015’s “Tomorrow Tonight,” Campbell has been in the studio working on his RED BOW Records debut album. Previously sharing the stage with Randy Houser, Alan Jackson, The Band Perry, Jerrod Niemann, and Justin Moore, he is currently playing shows nationwide and has a special surprise announcement coming soon.
