My new music video for
“Your Empty Chair" is released
worldwide right now!

 

 

Have you ever wanted something? Have you ever wanted something so badly you could almost taste it on the edge of your lips, feel it in your tired bones, the sad depths of your very soul? No matter what anyone says, you just always felt it was something you were meant to do. This is what music is for me. I don’t pursue it for fame or money. I’ve had more resistance than support along the way and I’ve grown to be OK with that. You can’t force love. Like anything in life, nothing is easy. I’ve always been a fighter and I’ve never been a quitter. And that’s not gonna start anytime soon…
 

Love is hard. Giving up on love would be so easy. We’ve all been there. It would be so easy to walk away, wouldn’t it? I don’t know about you, but that’s something I just can’t do. Even if it means staring at an empty chair…

For the music video, I thought it would be fascinating to tell the story of a rough and rugged cowboy. His love interest is a sweet but busy city girl. Obviously, that tension creates its own drama but they are in love nonetheless. Their love is epic. Even though love is a strong force, will that be enough to help the relationship survive? Will love keep them together despite their obvious contrasted personalities and career paths?

Band Description

Tweed Deluxe is a three-piece blues/rock band from San Diego that combines classic guitar-driven blues with up-tempo drive and catchy melodies.

"Formed in 2010 the trio has been playing blues and blues-rock style material in San Diego for eight years and has now come forward with a disc of original and surprisingly diverse songs, all written by lead guitarist and singer Michael Oleata. This man, you may gather, is a live-wire guitarist, alternately loose and snappy in his phrases, insistent but relaxed, teasing with half phrases and short runs, making superb use of space to create anticipation for the next blitz. And blitz Oleata does, stepping up the pace and letting loose with achingly sweet cascades of notes. With the steady and able assist of Lyle Koonts on bass and Robert Sheehan on drums, Oleata works out, digging deep into the E string for an earthy grunge straight from the Delta blues tradition, then switches his tone and integrates gold-toned country inflections, and makes unusually elegant and tasty use of the wah-wah pedal."

"Tweed Deluxe is a strong band, extending what one can do with a song-based guitar trio. Itty Bitty King intrigues and thrills with confident guitar improvisations against a sure footed rhythm section. These fellows warrant attention."
