American Authors have joined forces with Phillip Phillips and Maddie Poppe to create a heart-warming music video, reflecting the joys of coming home. The song Bring It On Home is a catchy upbeat number and makes contributing artists Phillips and Pope feel right at home. The sound has all the sensibilities of both artist’s music. Their verses are very well done and the different tones of all of their voices make this one, a special track. One listen and you’ll be tapping your feet along. Check out the video below. I love the theme and the way they portray each artist in their comfort zones – at home.
American Authors – Zac Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matt Sanchez (drums) – hail from the four corners of the U.S. but came together at Boston’s Berklee College of Music in 2006. They soon left Berklee, moved into a small apartment in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, and started a band, releasing a series of indie EPs over the course of five years. After lighting up SiriusXM Alt Nation radio with their debut #1 single “Believer” and attracting (what became) over 8 million YouTube views for the viral “Believer” video they created with their cell phones, they were signed to Island Records in 2012. With the success of the inescapable and instantly recognizable “Best Day Of My Life,” their debut LP Oh, What A Life went Top 5 on the Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts, Top 15 on the Billboard 200, and was RIAA certified gold. “Best Day Of My Life” was a 3x-platinum career-defining track that went on to reach #1 on Hot AC and Top 5 at Pop while receiving countless film, television, video game, and sports syncs. Their second album, 2016’s What We Live For included “What We Live For,” “Grow,” and the sync friendly hit “Go Big or Go Home.”
American Authors are setting out on their headline tour, with supporting acts Magic Giant and PUBLIC, kicking off in January and wrapping up in February.
