Porchlight written/Performed By Rick Ferrell
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (AP) - A songwriter for some of country music's biggest names has returned home to Ohio to shoot 1 of his own music videos.
Rick Ferrell tells The Ironton Tribune he could think of no better place to tell the story of his song "Porchlight" than in southern Ohio.
Scenes were shot in Ironton and in downtown Portsmouth, the city about 20 miles away where Ferrell grew up.
Ohio University Southern special projects producer Sean Daniel collaborated on the video and got students involved. Daniel said he wanted them to see that there are opportunities in entertainment way beyond Hollywood.
Songs written by Ferrell include Tim McGraw's "Something Like That" and Martina McBride's "Where Would You Be." , Juliannne Hough "YOU YOU YOU" and Montgomery Gentry "If A Broken Heart Could Kill".
