Grandaddy
“The Town where I’m Livin Now” (Official Music Video)

July 11, 2023
Created for the 20th anniversary rerelease of Grandaddy’s revered album Sumday via Dangerbird Records. A documentary-style retrospective constructed as a sentimental road trip down memory lane and ode to California’s Central Valley.

“Revisiting this material and reflecting on those times has been a double-edged sword. Bittersweet is an apt word, I suppose. Twenty years after the fact, I’m just grateful to be alive and kicking.” - Jason Lytle, Grandaddy
