CAYLEE HAMMACK PAYS HOMAGE TO HER WIDE RANGING MUSICAL INFLUENCES WITH NEW MUSIC VIDEO GUEST STARRING EVERCLEAR’S ART ALEXAKIS

Billboard Snags the Exclusive of the “Just Friends” Video Collaboration here

Capitol Nashville’s Caylee Hammack is premiering the official music video for her new single “Just Friends” exclusively with Billboard today, available to watch here.  The “full throttle vocalist” (HITS) pays homage to some of her strongest musical influences from vintage Dolly Parton to 90’s alternative rock in the new clip, directed by Justin Clough, and featuring one of Hammack’s dream collaborators Everclear’s Art Alexakis.

“When I was in the writing room and studio working on my debut album, I got to sneak lyrical and sonic Easter eggs throughout the record to pay homage to the legends who have shaped me and my music.  Considering ‘Just Friends’ partly came from a Everclear binge during a breakup, I dreamt that Art Alexakis could star as an Easter egg, mystery character in the music video,” explained Hammack. “‘I Will Buy You a New Life’ was one of the first songs and music videos that stuck in my head as a kid. I knew I had to reference that in someway.  Then the idea popped in my head to just ask his number of a mutual friend and call him. I’m glad I did. He is a wonderful creator and even better human.”

Capitol Nashville singer/songwriter/producer Caylee Hammack just released her debut record IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU on August 14. Since the release, critics have continued to highly praise the 13-track set that sees Hammack with writer and producer credits on every track on the album. “Hammack has arrived with this 13-track adrenaline blast…every song on here plays out like an entry in Hammack’s diary—and is just as compelling…Hammack deserves to be a star” declared Billboard. Recently winning a nod for ACM “Music Event Of The Year,” with Miranda Lambert, Caylee Hammack has been noted as an “Artist To Watch” by outlets including The Bobby Bones Show, Rolling Stone and HITS Magazine for her “voice to move mountains” (Rolling Stone). With her breakout Top 30 single “Family Tree” marking the most-added single at Country radio by a female artist in over three years, Hammack, the Capitol Nashville recording artist has previously brought her unforgettable live set to opening slots for Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Trisha Yearwood, Brothers Osborne and some of country music’s biggest festivals.
