The Reklaws and Drake Milligan felt like actors in a Hollywood movie as they traveled to Romania to film the “Honky Tonkin’ About” music video
When multi-PLATINUM duo The Reklawsand international breakout artist Drake Milliganteamed up for their newest single “Honky Tonkin’ About,” traveling to Romania to film a wild west-inspired music video on the Paramount film set wasn’t something any of the country artists expected. But when the opportunity presented itself, they booked the first flight there.
“Honky Tonkin’ About” is a cinematic video shot on location in Romania on the set of The Grey House (Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman) with an Oscar award-winning team and delivers the rowdy Reklaws party with a timeless twist that captures the spirit of honky-tonk traditions. Directed by Mac Grant, Chad Tennies, and Ben Knechtel, with executive producer Leslie Greif. The video features star-studded guest appearances from Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore), Robert Knepper (Prison Break), and Mary-Louise Parker(Weeds).
The music video for “Honky Tonkin’ About” whisks viewers on a “back to the future” adventure. The story unfolds in the present day, with The Reklaws waiting for their ride in front of a venue. But instead of a modern-day rideshare, a horse and carriage arrives, driven by none other than Christopher McDonald. This journey transports them back in time to the town’s watering hole, where they introduce “new country” music to a crowd of bewildered and curious 1800s revelers. The ending is PRICELESS!
Shares Jenna and Stuart of The Reklaws,
“We wanted our fans to feel like they’re watching a movie, and that’s exactly what this is! The work put in by the directors, actors and performers was truly remarkable to witness, and even more incredible to be a part of. Going to Romania for the music video was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and having Drake Milligan join us made it all the more unforgettable. We are so thankful for the opportunity from Leslie Greif and it is such a treat to deliver something so fresh and unique to our fans.”
Milligan shares,
“I was honoured when The Reklaws reached out about featuring me on their song “Honky Tonkin’ About.” “They are wonderful artists and became fast friends through this process. I hope our fans have as much fun watching this music video as we had filming it!”
