Thank you to the End Hits blog over at The Portland Mercury for featuring my new video “Everything You Touch Turns To Gold” in this week’s video round-up!

From End Hits “Video Vriday”: 8/16/2013

“Here’s Logan Lynn and Rowan Wren in “Everything You Touch Turns to Gold.” Wren directed the video for this track, which appears on Lynn’s recent Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks album.

Logan: (Laughs) Well, that makes sense. For a person who hasn’t heard your music, how would you describe your sound?

Chanticleer: I feel like the core is just roots music. We all have a love and appreciation for Read the rest of this entry »
