Music Video to be Created from Armed Forces Video Submissions
Apr 23 2009
Average Joe’s Entertainment artist Colt Ford has remained one of the Top 5 most-added MySpace country music artists for months averaging over 45,000 plays each day majorly due to Armed Forces support from both US and overseas service members.
Ford has taken notice of what his music means to those men and women serving our country and wants them to be the stars of his new music video, “Ride Through The Country.”
“These are the real people we should be celebrating, and after receiving links to footage from Iraq from one fan listening to my music in the helicopter,” says Ford, “I decided I wanted my music video to be a tribute to them. Period.”
Ford’s management, Full Scope Entertainment, is accepting footage from active and inactive Armed Forces members, friends, and family in the form of DVD or mini-DV between now and June 1st.
“We realize that many of our friends may not have the means to send their footage, so we are encouraging all interested to contact us so we can either send them shipping information or a link to upload footage,” adds Full Scope President, Ken Madson.
Our goal is to showcase these men, women, and families in a light that provides encouragement while showing gratitude for their service. What better way than to show a ‘ride through the country’?”
Videos submitted to date show service men and women listening to or singing “Ride Through The Country” in their uniforms in various parts of the world.
Any and all submissions are encouraged.
