Red Wanting Blue & Liz Brasher Unveil Beautiful Duet

Midwestern Rock band, Red Wanting Blue are thrilled to unveil the video for new single, "I've Got a Feeling it Hurts," a stunning, sonic duet with former tour-mate, LIZ BRASHER.

An Italianate, distressed mansion in Staten Island, normally used for fashion photo shoots, provided the back drop. The emotional video, directed by Jenna Pace, features RWB lead singer, Scott Terry, trading heartfelt verses with Brasher while the band's infectious hooks played along. The result is a truly captivating look into a struggling relationship, shot within the worn-down confines of a once beautiful home.

Lead singer Scott Terry shares, "'I've Got A Feeling It Hurts' was filmed in the eerily-preserved, possibly haunted Nabisco Sisters mansion built in 1855, out in Staten Island, New York. With much cajoling, our longtime video director used her powers of persuasion to convince the owner to allow a band to film there... This was a feat, since he only allows still photography in the mansion, due to the delicate nature of the space. Once we arrived, we were awestruck by the place...it was a relic unto itself. We had to be extremely careful on the fragile stairs (one at a time), cupola, and especially around the naturally distressed walls (no leaning!). The patina is raw, authentic and also 164 years old, thus absolutely no film crews... until now."

Red Wanting Blue originally formed in Athens, OH in 1996. Over the last 20+ years, this hard-working band has released eleven albums, including The Wanting, which came out last April. When deciding to hit the road last spring, it was their producer, acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge, who suggested Liz Brasher as the tour opener. The quintet are long-time fans of creating a 'community with the bands around us' as explained by lead singer, Scott Terry. "We have always enjoyed taking bands that we are friends with, bringing them on the road and then inviting them to join us on-stage."

It was during the California leg of that tour that the band invited Liz to join them for a duet of the heart-wrenching song, "I've Got a Feeling it Hurts." Liz didn't just learn the verse and join in, instead, she took the opportunity to create more of a duet than was originally written. The result was an electrifying, live delivery, so much so that radio programmers and fans starting asking about this 'alternate version'.

Scott commented, "Liz really brought her personality and style to the song, and by doing so, gave the song a whole new dynamic. Once she was there, it was hard to imagine the song without her." An idea sprang forth, with the band and Liz both in Nashville for AmericanaFest last September, why not record the new version? Once recorded, the band decided to go one step further, let's grab Liz when she is in NY and film a video.

Liz adds, "Being able to see a song transform in-front of our eyes every night with audiences demanding to hear it again is such a unique experience. It felt like the guys in RWB & I had always done this song together - it was just so natural! I'm thankful to have been a part of it and for them to have trusted me with their song."
