Americana is one of the most unique music genres, because many sub-genres like folk, country, and blues fall underneath its umbrella. One man owning that scene is Bob Gemmell, who’s been known to produce unique lyrical creations with his guitar by his side.
His latest release “Slowtown” is a perfect blend of Psychedelic Americana that opens up with his narration of a simple night in California, before he starts singing with his guitar about the world being in motion and how he feels about it.
The music video is shot in a small town in California on a hot summer night, where Gammell was filmed with his guitar as he walks down the street and sings a delightful melody. “I wanted to capture the essence of that night,” shared Gemmell. “The swirl of light and sound and beauty.”
Sterno Bums International is behind the production, along with JeffyD, the Sonic Lord. “Slowtown” is the embodiment of Gemmell’s evolving into a wonderful singer/songwriter as it features his country-raspy vocals and undeniably catchy guitar riffs.
“Slowtown” is similar but different to Gemmell’s older work as it branches out to a more deep topic. It’s more personal and in-depth to how Gemmell relates to the town of California, and shows great growth from his older body of work.
Reminding us of the likes of John Mayer and Taylor Swift, Gemmell is armed with his guitar and sweet melodies that soothes the hearts of his listeners and enables the viewer to dive deep into his storytelling methods and think outside the box.
What to expect next? You have to stay tuned to find out.
