I just started working with Kim Scott (http://www.kimberlyscottblog.com/) and Rick “Rooster” Garza (http://www.facebook.com/BrightandEarlyProductions) on the new music video for “Out of Reach”. The experience definitely brought me out of my element a little bit.I know exactly what to do when I’m singing and playing guitar.
