“What great
artists sound like when their music is stripped down to its elements...” -
American Songwriter
Linda Draper presents “Hollow,”
the first music video from her seventh album, Edgewise, scheduled for
release on May 21st. The video
has premiered exclusively via Relix here. The haunting song is the result of a
conversation that Linda overheard on
an airplane. A mother was discussing how
her step-son needed to give up his dream of becoming a writer, saying he needed
to “get it out of his system.”
Yes, step-moms of the world, life as an artist is
risky, but a risk worth taking, even unknowingly at a video shoot. The clip for
“Hollow” was shot on beautiful
Montauk Point at the tip of Long Island, NY.
“I stood a few feet away from the edge of a cliff
during this shoot,” Draper explains
of the video. “I only noticed the sign stating ‘Stay Back! Cliffs Compromised
Due To Erosion!’ afterward.” Of the new
album, Draper explains, “With Edgewise,
I feel myself returning to the roots that originally sparked my enthusiasm for
music,” referring to her childhood growing up in a musical household with
parents and siblings who are all musicians (father Frederick Draper is a classical guitar virtuoso who studied with Andres Segovia.)
Draper will bring that enthusiasm to the stage for a string
of dates in support of Edgewise starting this weekend. See below for details. Get a peek into the making of Edgewise
via a video interview with Draper here. Linda Draper is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for
more information.
