Song of the Day

Andy Grammer – Keep Your Head Up

Today’s Song of the Day is also a music spotlight! During my trip to California last summer, I finally had the chance to go to Santa Monica for the first time – a place that I have been dying to see! The downtown shopping area of Santa Monica has a little thing called the “promenade” where local performers play mini sets during the day for tourists and locals. On the day that I went, I had the privilege of meeting Andy Grammer.

I never got a chance to follow up with him after that day and somehow misplaced his contact information, but it looks like he is doing well for himself! His music video for “Keep Your Head Up” is spectacular! It’s an interactive video meaning you have the power to choose what happens within the music video. Watching a music video just got a little more fun, not to mention, you get to listen to a great song at the same time.

There’s also a cameo from a pretty well known television star in the video as well, but I’ll just let you watch to find out who it is.

It is incredible to see an artist grow over time and receive the recognition that they deserve. Having worked with local artists and developing friendships with them over the years, I think that the most satisfying aspect is not knowing someone before they’re famous, but being able to witness them succeed.

Congrats Andy!
