Texas troubadour Steve Anthony has put away his suitcases and isn’t traveling all over the country but that hasn’t stopped him from making some new music.
He has just released the video for his newest single “I’m Falling In”. The fun loving video was a challenge to make; not because they did it one take, but because of the location…underwater off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico!
An avid diver, Anthony noted the hardest part was keeping his cowboy had perched on his head. He noted that after jumping off the boat with 40 pounds of ballast that sent him to the bottom “like a torpedo”, Anthony admits to wondering what he had gotten himself into.
The landmark video is a first for Country music as the first performed and recorded underwater.
Director Don Mills admitted that it was the most challenging production he has ever done; but adds they had fun too.
Fellow diver Joe Kelly and Anthony conceived of the idea for the video over a bottle of bourbon. The idea grew in proportion to the amount of the adult beverage that was consumed.
Steve Anthony has been playing the guitar since he was 10 years old and entertaining audiences since he was 15 when he formed his first band. He calls Caldwell, Texas home, where he continues to write new songs and sings at church.
