Tenille Townes Debuts Music Video For New Single “Jersey On The Wall”
Rising country star Tenille Townes is an artist we have loved here at Belles and gals for quite a while now, and her album (due for release via Columbia Nashville) is surely one of the genre’s most hotly anticipated debut releases. Several singles have already being made available, the most recent of these being the moving track “Jersey on The Wall”, which demonstrates so well what billboard has described as Tenille’s “knack for writing story songs that make the listener stop and think“.
The song’s official music video, out yesterday, is equally as moving, Tenille saying “Leaving space in this video for people to insert their own emotions and think of people in their own stories was so important to me. There’s an anchor of light coming in through the gym window, across the lockers and in the hallways that represents the ever-present hope that is still there, even in the darkest of losses. We were able to use the actual jerseys of Danielle and Drayton, who were both the inspiration behind this song. It was so emotional seeing both of their #9s hanging there during the video shoot and it means so much to have their jerseys be such a big part.”
In support of the new music, Townes will join Miranda Lambert on her “Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars Tour” this autumn and will perform select dates with Maren Morris in November; as well as returning to the UK for a London headline show (upgraded due to demand) and tour dates with Striking Matches – limited tickets available now:
