"On and On" a New Single from Brett Ryan Stewart and Angel Snow

“Set against an Alt-Folk sonic landscape that would not feel out of place on Beck’s Sea Change album, Stewart and Snow spend just over 4 minutes daring—and succeeding—to express one of the more complex and basal elements of Man’s search for meaning in the face of inevitable dissolution.”- Word On the Wings

“As I’ve said before, great art must succeed at varying depths. "On and On" does this in remarkable fashion. The production and musicianship allow the casual listener to take a sort of shortcut to the peaceableness the lyric fights hard for. For those craving depth and to feel seen in their own existential maelstroms, the team of songwriters expertly narrate every step along a path which has been trod since the dawn of Man, on and on and on.”

“Video Debut: “Box Full of Rocks“ by Jason Erie

March 10, 2022 Chuck Allen Features

From his forthcoming album, Tiny Fires (out March 25 via Wirebird Records), we’re thrilled to present the video debut of “Box Full of Rocks“ by Jason Erie.

Erie describes the single as deeply personal, a narrative of growth, redemption, and a change in perspective about his past. “Everyone has an origin story, whether it is something we are proud of or somewhere we wish we could forget,” he relates. “I would say that I lie somewhere in the middle, hoping for redemption with the kind of pride only hurt could build. I grew up in a hard situation, but I have found as I get older it gets easier to blame circumstances instead of my parents. It’s funny how small moments can lead to such large problems — that is what “Box Full of Rocks” is about. It’s a song I wrote for me on this record, personal to my past, meant to expose a little more of myself to the world.”

Producer Brett Ryan Stewart (Wirebird Productions) created the musical backdrop upon which Erie’s lyricism comes to the fore. Of the video — shot by Anana Kaye and Irakli Gabriel of Duende Vision in East Nashville — he says, “I told them I wanted to do the whole video as a corpse being dragged in a field. Needless to say, they were able to take that idea and run with it.” Erie’s son, Hudson, plays the child in the video, with his wife, Kristin Indorato, and Rosemary Fossee sharing the role of “mom.”

Erie believes the video is perfectly paired with the song, saying, “It’s a visual representation of the hurt and resentment we as past children can harbor and the release we find when we can let it all go.”

So without further adieu …”
