JASON CHARLES MILLER RELEASES NEW VIDEO “HUNDRED POUND HAMMER” DIRECTED BY JON SCHNEPP
TOUR WITH AMIGO THE DEVIL STARTS THIS DECEMBER
(Los Angeles, CA – November 8, 2018) – Accomplished and multi-faceted country rocker Jason Charles Miller is proud to announce the release of his “Hundred Pound Hammer” music video. The video, which can be seen HERE, is the last work to be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon Schnepp (Metalocoalypse, The Venture Bros., The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened?), who died suddenly during the making of the video. “Hundred Pound Hammer” is the opening track off of Jason Charles Miller’s latest full-length album In The Wasteland, which came out in June via RED MUSIC/Sony.
Randall Clay, who co-wrote “Hundred Pound Hammer” with Miller and has also penned hits with Ashley McBryde and William Michael Morgan, passed tragically in October. In The Wasteland, which wasmixed, mastered and produced by Grammy Award-winner Matt Hyde (Johny Lang, No Doubt, Deftones), is Jason Charles Miller’s first truly career-defining album. The album draws inspiration from a career that has spanned more than two decades and a dozen releases, and is colored by a catalog of musical textures drawing extensively from the worlds of rock, country and Americana. The trinity of styles – coupled with Miller’s experience as a songwriter, producer and performer, as well as a virtual who’s who of guest performances – culminates in 11 tracks that blur the lines between Southern Rock, classic country, and the outlaw attitude that has earmarked Miller’s career. The album includes collaborations with ‘Cowboy’ Eddie Long, Dug Pinnick (King’s X), Duane Betts (son of Allman Brothers’ Dickey Betts), Peter Keys (Lyndrd Skynyrd), Brenda Lee Eager, and Adam Shoenfeld. In The Wasteland is more than just a record, it is the living and breathing embodiment of Jason Charles Miller.
“To be a fan of Jon Schnepp’s work for so long, finally working on this video with him was a real thrill,” states Miller about working with Schnepp on the video. “Collaborating was something that we talked about for years, but the timing was finally right and we really captured something very special. I think it shows off Jon’s genius and unique style: The video screams, “Schnepp” in every way, as well as shows the audience the emotions of the song that Randall [Clay, co-writer] and I were trying to convey when we wrote it. The fact that the world lost two geniuses from two different circles within a few months of each other is something that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. I’m just glad we can release this video and let people see and hear their spectacular art.”
In December, Miller will tour Europe and the U.K. in support of Amigo The Devil. See tour dates below.
