(January 20, 2022) Today, Virginia-bred, genre-blending (alt-country, americana, hip-hop, classic rock) artist Shaboozey shares the visuals for his latest single “Tall Boy.” The music video follows Shaboozey entering a bar for a night of drinking and billiards that eventually turns into a rumbustious gathering. Beyond the surface, Shaboozey seamlessly injects his own morals and ideologies into his music as well. “Tall Boy” traverses topics of gender inequality, while masterfully mixing country and rap with memorable melodic choruses.

Shaboozey on “Tall Boy” ––
“The Tall Boy video was all about creating authentic moments and energy that match the song. We were able to shoot at Springwater in Nashville, the oldest bar in Tennessee, and flew in director of photography Mitchell Overton from Seattle to collaborate on the project. To keep moments natural we pre-lit our scenes and ran long takes on steadicam in the middle of the action so the viewer felt like an attendee rather than a spectator. The video and song speak to working Americans, enduring the challenges life throws at them. At the end of the day, no matter how difficult things get, we could all use some Booze.”
