Directed by Mason Dixon, the video premiered on YouTube following a live chat between Townes and her fans.
Of the video,
Townes shares, “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.”
'Jersey On The Wall' comes from Townes’ forthcoming full-length
debut album, which was produced by Jay Joyce and is set for release via
Columbia Nashville. Previously released album tracks include 'White Horse', 'I Kept The Roses' and lead single 'Somebody’s Daughter' which reached #1 on both Mediabase
and Nielsen BDS Country Airplay in Canada. Of
Townes, Billboard praises, “…knack for writing story songs that make the
listener stop and think,” while Music Row declares, “Tenille Townes is the future. Get on board now.”
The
release adds to a breakout year for Tenille Townes, who recently won four
awards at the 2019 CCMA's (Canadian Country Music Awards) - Female
Artist of the Year, Single of the Year (“Somebody’s Daughter”), Anthem Entertainment
Songwriter of the Year and Video of the Year
(“Somebody’s Daughter”). Winning all four of her nominated categories, Townes
led the night with the most awards received.
Townes also recently participated in Cracker Barrel’s “Five Decades, One Voice” campaign—a project created to highlight the importance of women in country music by celebrating legendary female artists and those following in their footsteps. For the project, Townes was personally selected by Brandi Carlile to collaborate on new versions of two songs—Townes’ 'Somebody’s Daughter' and Carlile’s 'Fulton County Jane Doe'.
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:
