July 4th may be behind us, but in country music, American pride is a year-round thing: Just ask Brian Kelley, who celebrates patriotism in his new release, “American Spirit.”
His love of country is personal, and he chose to document a close-to-his-heart tradition from his home state in the music video for the song. The country star went home to Florida to film clips from the annual Grayton Beach Parade while he was making the video.
“We wanted to capture the energy and spirit of Fourth of July at home in Florida,” says Brian, who is formerly one half of the currently-defunct duo Florida Georgia Line.
“Our friends always set up a huge flag in front of their driveway, so during the afternoon when the everyone was at the beach, we did one quick performance shot for this music video to tie it all in with the great footage we captured of families and friends celebrating, soaking up the Florida sun, and giving thanks to our service members.”
For BK, the song and its music video aren’t just a celebration of country — It’s a celebration of the community that built him, too.
“I just love our town,” he continues. “Good times, good vibez and good people.”
