Clay Hughes is an up and coming artist who has been compared to the sounds of Sublime, Citizen Cope and G. Love. He has a unique sound and style that utilizes crossing genres from country to hip-hop, rock and reggae - all within one album, and sometimes one track. This video is the single track off his most recent album "Burn." Shot in two evenings with a micro budget, the video embodies a rampage of a night in a small town.

Common, Jess DeNicola
This beautiful and dramatic music video for the song "Turnaround" by Denver indie band John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light depicts the rise and fall of love and family contained within a bedroom, a hypnotic and voyeuristic account of the life cycle of relationships. The use of light and movement in a surreal environment pulls the viewer in visually and enhances the already powerful music and lyrics.
