The Heart of Rock and Roll

The Heart of Rock and Roll music video was one of the most satisfying things I’ve produced. The Broadway musical is built around the songs of Huey Lewis and the News, so the video had to introduce the show with the real thing: a Broadway company of about two dozen performers and a professional band, working alongside rock royalty, on a song people already love. Bringing that many people and schedules together was a big part of the job, but so was directing a Hollywood DP for the shoot and working with historic NYC music studios that Huey himself recorded in during the height of his success in the 1980s.

Huey Lewis had final approval on all the content I produced, and the finished video was picked up by Entertainment Tonight, CBS Sunday Morning, and Rolling Stone and won a Silver Davey for Best Online Music Video.
