New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Commonheart are back!
Pittsburgh's beloved roots/soul big band The Commonheart just dropped the new video for "Trying to Get Over" from their upcoming album and it is a doozy. The Bluegrass Situation premiered the video, calling it "a grooving blues track with a driving hypnotic rhythm that won't quit."
For Work or Love was produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, who the band toured with in 2017 and formed a musical bond with. It hits stores on
September 16, 2022. The band will be on tour this fall, including a performance during Americana
Music Fest in Nashville.
"They pay soulful tribute to the soul gods without disrespecting their exhumed remains." - No Depression
*Their emotion-packed sound radiates true soul." - American Songwriter
*Out front is Clegg, a lightning-bolt charismatic frontman with dynamically expressive pipes that effortlessly traverse bluesy pleading and honeyed balladeering." - The Tinnitist
Live and in the studio, the Pittsburgh-based collective offers feel-good positivity, Golden Rule messaging, and sweat-soaked performances that nimbly ease through blues, vintage soul, and rock. The band is bonded by familial-like ties and a desire to foster spiritual uplift. Among its ranks are female backup singers, drums, bass, guitar, a horn section, and keyboards. Out front is Clinton, a lightning bolt charismatic frontman with dynamically expressive pipes that effortlessly traverse bluesy pleading and honeyed balladeering.
The second single, "Hustler" is an anthem for perseverance. Told thru the eyes of a street hustler's mind, this song offers their interpretation of what it takes to make a living in this world thru the hardest times. The narrative runs parallel for anyone that's finding their way thru life with grit, fearlessness & drive.
