Video Premiere – King Commoner

Wednesday, September 11, 2019 By Shawn Underwood

L.A.-based musician King Commoner is also a filmmaker. I’ll explain why that matters in a minute. He recently dropped a new EP entitled Peril & Woe. The first song, Winter, is a rootsy rock piece with a serious snap-your-fingers-to-it beat. Run My Son drives a little harder and injects a more Southern rock flavor. The final song, Even Though, goes right on through the Southern vein and bears some definite old-school country riffs.

Now that part about being a filmmaker. King Commoner decided to do a video for Even Though. He used some of a short film of his, Williamsburg, to give a Western flavor to a more modern tale of, well, mostly despair with a trace of hope interwoven in the lyrics. We’re happy to be able to premiere that video, So please enjoy Even Though.
