   Jake Clayton's "What Not To Do" Video Pr

   Jake Clayton's new music video, "What Not To Do," premieres tomorrow, Friday,   
   December 11 on The Heartland Network at 11 p.m. Central. The clip and its   
   companion "behind-the-scenes" video will air multiple times over the next   
   week; check local listings    
   for broadcast times. "It's a song that tells the stories of three separate   
   people, their actions and the resulting consequences," explains the talented   
   artist and multi-instrumentalist. "We wanted a gritty video - and we got it."   
   Clayton co-produced the    
   clip with Rob Daniels for Please & Thank You Motion Pictures; Dylan White   
   directed.   
      
   Taped in 115-degree heat, viewers are immediately drawn in with a sense of   
   urgency, punctuated by blistering fiddle work, dynamic guitars and   
   heart-pounding drums. While the video is a warning about straying from a   
   virtuous path, and is based upon real    
   crimes, it is related in a "by example" fashion and not in a "doom-and-gloom"   
   way. There is nothing "preachy" about Jake's high-energy performance or   
   ear-splitting grin, and both lighten the mood considerably. Split between   
   performance footage shot in an    
   abandoned barn just outside of Nashville, Tennessee and entertaining   
   re-enactments taped in Chesapeake and Portsmouth, Virginia, the video   
   definitely matches the single in intensity.   
      
   The radio-active track, a searing up-tempo, was released to Country radio in   
   September. Music News Atlanta states "Clayton is in a league of his own when   
   matched against most of the current young Country artists," and describes   
   "What Not To Do" as a "   
   powerful and honest song in the mold of how they used to make 'em." The   
   tastemaker adds "Jake's on-the-money tenor... (is) definitely from deep   
   Country roots and his delivery is filled with an energy that the genre hasn't   
   seen in a while." The track is    
   from Jake's current CD, BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, for Rebel Engine   
   Entertainment.   
      
   Jake and his band have opened for Charlie Daniels, Jon Pardi and Jerrod   
   Niemann. He recorded and produced the theme song for The Sportsman Channel's   
   Legacy Trails TV show and, as a musician, he has entertained crowds at Madison   
   Square Garden, the Grand    
   Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
