After leaving his home state of Iowa, traveling the world, touring over 200 days a year, Jeffrey Krantz made the decision to “live the dream” and eventually landed in Nashville. There, he recorded his first self-produced solo album titled KRANTZ (2016). A little bit psychedelic a little bit psychobilly, KRANTZ introduces listeners to the firebrand style that has been a trademark of his sound. In-between recording sessions Krantz also took part in tapings of MTV’s music competition, American Supergroup, where he eventually became a finalist in the competition.
While working nonstop at the Honky Tonks of Music City to reach his musical dream, Jeffrey Krantz kept writing, touring, and released The Pennock Tapes EP (2017) and his second album, Misty Morning Dew (2019). Expanding on his brand of psychedelicized power-pop, Krantz weaves together the golden age of rock n roll with modern alternative stylings. Think Tom Petty meets Weezer or The Black Crowes mixed with Green Day.
Today we’re thrilled to premiere the video for his new track “Beach (Moonlight Rendezvous)” – streaming below! The video invites you to a Summer beach party and is a welcome sight for warm weather and good vibes. The song is a gritty rock anthem perfect for warm Nashville nights. We’re pumped to share this one with you!
In his own words:
Having a song called “Beach”, I knew the vid had to be filmed on a beach, but living in Nashville, TN, there aren’t a whole lot to shoot on. Luckily, I have a friend who’s got a place on the beach in Amelia Island, FL, so I got the directors and my band, and we hopped in my van to make the trek down south.
We weren’t sure what the weather was going to be like considering we filmed it last November, but it worked out great. It was crazy windy a couple of the days, but I think it added a cool element of movement. The directors insisted on putting a scene with a bunch of ladies in bikinis as well, so how can I say no to that? Overall it took us about 3 days to film, and was a blast! Shoutout to Southern Cabin Films for doing a super righteous job. –Jeffrey Krantz
