Tim Elliott releases new video in support of “Old Barns and Farm Houses”
Here’s Tim on how the song and video came about, “The song started literally in a corn field in Iowa. While on a radio tour the station had us out meeting some of the local farmers. After a few conversations, I began to realize that no matter how small or large the farm the folks were the same, just good hardworking people. Growing up on a small farm in NC it made me feel at home. I really wanted to capture that with the video just real people doing their everyday things. No actors no special lighting or sets just blue-collar America the very backbone of who we are.”
