The location for Sam Hunt‘s “Water Under the Bridge” video is a personal one. 

One of the main features of the video is the river where Sam and his friends are fishing and partying. Turns out, it’s a secret spot that the singer frequents. Sam found the fishing hole in Middle Tennessee a few years ago and it’s become his favorite spot for catching smallmouth bass. 

“Middle Tennessee has some really good smallmouth water, and that's a cool little place I found several years ago,” he describes. “I have a canoe that I'll strap onto the top of the Jeep or truck and take over there and float that little stretch and sometimes catch fish, sometimes not. But it's so pretty over there, it's worth taking the trip in the summer or early fall.”

“Water Under the Bridge” is the second single off the Georgia native’s upcoming album. It follows the #1 hit “23,” marking his ninth single to achieve the feat.

Luke Bryan offers tribute to the everyday hero in the video for his latest single, “Country On.” 

The singer takes viewers into farm life, compiling clips of farmers bailing hay and roping cattle. Miles down the road in downtown Nashville, Luke spotlights the bartenders at his bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, who are serving up drinks to tourists, including a group of bachelorettes. 

He also features members of the Nashville Police Department and other first responders, including firefighters, EMTs and members of the military, all posing in front of the American flag as he sings “hey fireman, boys and girls in blue/We could sure use a lot more like you/You come runnin’ in anytime, anything goes wrong/Country on.” 

The video ends with the superstar standing on the street in the middle of Broadway, the first responders gathered around as he shakes each of their hands before collectively looking up at the fireworks decorating the city skyline. 

“It was awesome to spotlight all these great people to create such a special message,” Luke describes of the video. “Hope y’all like it.” 

“Country On” is the lead single off his forthcoming album. It’s currently in the top 15 on country radio.
