TEXAS HILL’S RAW TALENT STEALS THE SHOW IN NEW STRIPPED VIDEO, “LOVE ME WHEN I’M LEAVING”

 

Visual Releases With CMT Music

 

Texas Hill continues to expand its audience—this time, partnering with video network CMT Music to give fans a stripped, true-to-brand video of the Adam Wakefield-penned song “Love Me When I’m Leaving.” Set in an old barn with the three members surrounding a single mic, the visual’s simplistic plot allows the undeniable musicianship and artistry of Texas Hill shine. The video premiered today on Texas Hill’s Youtube channel and was added to CMT Music, CMT’s 24-hour music channel, where it will remain in rotation.

 

 

“This one was all Corey and Robby [of Midtown Motion],” Wakefield says of the music video shoot. “We had planned on doing some press shots that day but we had a little time left over so we gave them free rein to do their thing. It never ceases to amaze me what young creative folks can do on the fly. Considering we just used one mic and one camera I think we captured something pretty special.”

 

The group first tested the Texas Hill concept (then unnamed) with a series of co-headlining shows in late 2019. In June, Billboard officially announced the trio, comprised of Craig Wayne Boyd, Casey James and Adam Wakefield—all former reality show contestants (Boyd and Wakefield placed 1st and 2nd on separate seasons of NBC’s The Voice, while James placed 3rd on ABC’s American Idol) and solo acts.

 

In September, the trio released their debut, self-titled EP. The project, which further showcased the trio’s soul-soaked, in-your-face harmonies included previously released singles “Darkest Sky,” “Four Roses,” and “Easy On The Eyes,” as well as new tunes “Love Me When I’m Leaving” and “Sugar Cane.”

 

On Tuesday, October 27th at 7 p.m. CDT, Texas Hill will host a free, full-band live stream concert with select media partners on Facebook and YouTube.

 

About Texas Hill:
Texas Hill is a gritty amalgam of overlapping tastes and distinct voices that meet in the middle as a bold harmony trio. Craig Wayne Boyd offers a voice full of gospel-tinged country smoke, Adam Wakefield blends a rootsy bluegrass-and-Americana rasp, and Casey James wraps it with a blue-eyed soul quality and deft blues guitar chops. The result is a band that’s both rock solid and highly adaptive. Texas Hill is instantly identifiable, thanks to its well-developed signature sound: a proud, in-your-face harmonic wall. Each of the individual Texas Hill members earned a national presence as contestants on TV music competitions – Boyd and Wakefield were both members of Blake Shelton’s team during different seasons of NBC’s The Voice, and James developed a following during the Simon Cowell era of FOX’s American Idol. The similarities in their TV-tested journeys provided instant bonding. They still work their individual shows, but the trio format brought Texas Hill a comradeship and a level of support that none of them had experienced on their own. The three members of Texas Hill are spokes on a wheel, and the music finds its balance one song at a time through a natural friendship.
