Mountain Heart releases video for “Road That Never Ends”
Mountain Heart - “Road That Never Ends” (Rural Rhythm Records)
Nashville, Tenn. — Once again, Mountain Heart is blazing new trails for bluegrass and acoustic music with the March 5th music video release of the title track from the Road That Never Ends (The Live Album) on Rural Rhythm Records. This is Mountain Heart’s first music video and was produced by Josh Shilling and directed by Scott Hansen from Renown Studio.
AristoMedia will distribute the video to National and Regional music video outlets. Jessica Bilak Porfirio, Manager of Video Marketing & Promotions with the company enthusiastically stated, “We are happy to be working with Rural Rhythm Records and Mountain Heart on this new project. We are looking forward to taking this high energy and well produced music video to our panel of outlets where we anticipate a great response.”
The video was shot in numerous locations around Roanoke, Virginia including the live show performance and bar scenes filmed at the Grey Stone Tavern. Another location included the Virginia Beach area with an interesting story told by Shilling…
“The most memorable part of filming the video for Road That Never Ends has got to be the bone-chilling scene we tried to capture in the rain. We needed a scene to accent the lyrics that portrayed a man begging forgiveness for all that he’d done wrong. It was midnight, around Christmas time, and the temperature had dropped to a painful 15 degrees. We setup lighting in a dark alley and piped a water hose to the scene from a nearby building. We spent twenty minutes filming me falling to my knees with freezing water being sprayed all over the scene from above. After the cameras, our clothes, and the concrete surrounding us began to freeze, we had to call it off. My skin was red and felt numb as we stripped our wet clothes off and huddled around a small space heater in a garage. I’m certain this was the closest you can get to hypothermia without being hospitalized. After we thawed out, reality set in that after all of our efforts, the awesome shot we were going for, simply didn’t exist. It’s something the world would’ve never known about, but hey, I guess it’s all for the love of music!”Josh Shilling - Mountain Heart
