Memphis native Ben Bradford is making his way onto the country music scene, recently debuting his brand new video for “Just A Little Bit” exclusively on Country Now.
Directed by Stokes Nielson, this steamy video matches the song verse-for-verse while images of Elvis, Sun Records, Peabody Hotel and other hometown scenes scroll across the background. The athlete-turned-singer draws inspiration from his Southern upbringing, but also incorporates the rock-influences into his style.
Bradford’s mother is a real-life Truvy from Steel Magnolias; owning her own beauty shop where her future crooner honed his performance skills and flirty ways with his forever fan club.
Ben Bradford grew up influenced by some of country’s biggest heavyweights — Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney, but the biggest influences of his life were right under his own roof, and they inspired his music in a myriad of ways.
We had a great time filming the video for ‘Just A Little Bit.’ We were inspired by Tom Petty’s video for ‘You Don’t How It Feels’ where we wanted different scenes playing in the background while I performed on a spinning dolly. It was no easy feat performing while someone was laying on the ground spinning the platform, but the song really fueled the energy on set and allowed me to connect with my performance,” says Bradford. “Getting to know my co-star wasn’t too bad either,” he playfully adds.
