To coincide with Stormy’s first appearance in Country Weekly, she’s proud to release the official video for “Sing This City Home”. Filmed in her hometown of Dresden, TN and neighboring Fulton, KY, the video features numerous friends and family members. Stormy says, “It was fun getting the crowd to come down to The Keg for this video shoot. This area has offered me so much support over the years and, like all small towns, all we did was tell a few people we’d be shooting and my supporters showed up in droves!”.
Directed by Marcel, the video takes you on a journey of small town America; where people work the land, cruise the town square, pack the local tavern, gather around to play music, and returning Soldiers are welcomed with open arms. ”I really wanted this to be a realistic take on what happens every day in a small town like this. You know, when Cole McCraw (the soldier) walked in the door, that reaction was authentic. He told me afterwards he wished everyone felt the way about returning soldiers that we did. He was so touched, and we were all about in tears.”

You hear your mom or people in the entertainment business always say things like “half the fun is getting there” or something that sounds so lame to somebody my age. Let me just say- making this cd has been a blast! It was a lot of hard work, but I’m doing what I love to do with people I look up to as role models. It’s been an awesome experience that I know I’m going to be proud of for a really long time.
“Someone Like Me” started out as my 15th birthday present. That’s all. We’ve wandered over to Nashville every year since I was 10 years old to demo 5 or 6 songs. Most of the songs on this project are ones I’ve done little acoustic demos to 2 or 3 times before. ( I’ll never forget my first demo – 10 years old, three songs to tracks. I had been going to the local karaoke spot for months in advance with my #2 pencil taking “pre-orders”. When it was done, Mom bought me a stack of blank cds and I burned them at home. Don’t laugh! I sold almost 500 at 5 bucks a piece from my little preorder list. I thought I was a rock star!) But, each and every song on “Someone Like Me” held a special spot in my heart. I had been living with these songs for so long, just dreaming of how they could sound. I really wanted to go in and do them the right way- fully produced with top players.
It means so much to me that other people seem to get what I’m doing. I love sharing these songs with all of you and honestly, 7000 of my cds already sold – unreal!! It blows me away when I hear that I’ve been requested on the radio or when someone actually wants my autograph. Your response to “Someone Like Me” has been incredible, your belief in me keeps me going. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support!
