D.A. Stern - “Miami” Video

D.A. Stern - “Miami” Video January 18, 2017

Our newest and truest, D.A. Stern, is hitting the road at the end of the month and dropped a video for “Miami”, off his debut LP, Aloha Hola, to celebrate! Go say hi for us in one of these cities: 

1/30 - San Diego, CA - Soda Bar
1/31 - Phoenix, AZ - Lost Leaf
2/1 - Costa Mesa, CA - The Wayfarer
2/3 - Boise, ID - Flying M Room

Here’s what he had to say about the clip:

“I am a huge Albert Brooks fan and Real Life might be my favorite of his movies.  It’s basically about a filmmaker, played by Brooks, who plans to make a feature out of footage he shoots of a real American family during their day-to-day lives; naturally, everything goes wrong.  The hilarious and beautiful montage that occurs during one of the family’s happier spells depicts a typical all-American family living an all-American dream in slow-motion, yet we are aware that this is not the truth.  Beneath all of the smiles, ice cream cones, and board games, this family is being pushed to their limits by a selfish man with a vision.  The idea that not everything is as it seems and that things are different below the surface ties directly into what the song Miami is about.”
