Jonathan recently released the video for his track 'It's Not Me, But It Could Be' from the 'Color Me Lucky' EP (Feb 2017), which has clocked up over 11K views since
release (Jan 19, 2017; Co-directed by P. Galvan and R. Win; Starring Allie
DeBerry and Tyler Beede )
He met the directors,
Paul Galvan and Rachael Win last year during a shoot, and they kept in touch
through the Austin art scene. They were approached by Tyler Beede, the pitcher
of the San Francisco Giants baseball team to create a video as a front so he
could propose to his actress girlfriend, Allie DeBerry. In Jonathan's own
words:"Allie always wanted to be in a country video so we
"hired" her to be in this one. We story-boarded, styled, shot and
went along with everything to make a real video and in the end he got to
propose to his gal."

‘Color Me Lucky’ was inspired when Jonathan had the chance to
sit on one of Evel Knievel’s Harleys at a friend’s party - who just happens to
own the largest Evel Knievel memorabilia collection in the world - and looked
down to see the words ‘Color Me Lucky’ on the gas tank.
“After touring all over the world, I wanted to write a song that
captured that feeling when you take a last look around, everything slows down
and you're collecting the power and emotions to fuel you to do either something
so fantastic where you’ll achieve legendary status or you simply, don't. It’s
like a bull ride - if you make it eight seconds, you make the round. But if you
fall off before, then it's no score,” said Jonathan Terrell.

This
video was staged in secret so that neither Allie or the extras knew about the
proposal. This was a very real proposal and she said yes.
About: Jonathan Terrell
Jonathan
Terrell has roots music in his blood. Born into a large family of former
cult-member musicians, he entered this world in the back room of a trailer
hidden out among the deep pines of East Texas.
In
his younger years, playing in the church band and working horses was all he
knew.
Since
moving to Austin, Texas, Terrell has bloomed into a well-respected songwriter
of deeply moving and resonant country-folk music explorations.
Although
he's graced the stage with country legends such as Willie Nelson and Merle
Haggard and supported acts such as Chris Stapleton and ZZ Top, Terrell never
fully rests on traditional country music. “A good song is a good song” says JT.
Pulling inspiration from dreamscapes and in-depth stories from the gorgeous and
gritty corners of Americana, Terrell is undoubtedly a new breed of America and
country music.
He
received international praise for his 2008full-length solo debut TRIALS AND
STIMULATIONS, and then began work on his next record until shelving the project
in 2011 to front the charismatic, ever-touring rock'n'roll band Not In The
Face.
In
2015 Terrell released his unshelved Americana gem ‘Past the Lights of Town’
on Candy Bang Records followed by residencies in NYC, DC and Philadelphia; a UK
tour, and a run of sold-out shows in France.
Terrell
has now returned to these roots and has recorded a new EP, COLOR ME LUCKY for
which he has worked to craft his songs into an enchanting collection of
yearning and bravado, of heartbreak and redemption.
The title track is at radio and the ‘Color Me Lucky’ EP will be released in the
UK & Europe on Friday 28th February 2017.
