When a media star in the travel and tourism world becomes a musician, it not only demonstrates the strong connection between travel, tourism, and music.
Former host of TravelTalkRadio, Sandy Dhuyvetter moved from California to Leelanau County, Michigan, to become a folk country-western mix music star featuring tunes from all over the world, Edelweiss included.
Sandy Dhuyvetter, also an artist announced a collaboration with New Hero Pictures to produce her new music video. The duo of AllMusicConsidered reproduced one of their favorite tunes by James McMurtry’s song If It Don’t Bleed. Lyrics are sung by George Powell, who plays the mandolin with Sandy Dhuyvetter on the accordion. Sandy and George are also Twitch musicians who play 3 streams per week on twitch with 12,000 followers.
George Powell said, “James McMurty is an amazing songwriter and we are so happy to use this song in our first music video. Chris and Lydia from New Hero Pictures brought their creativity to the table and enhanced the music with the backdrop of our beautiful area here in Leelanau County, Michigan.
The 5-minute video was directed and produced by New Hero Pictures out of Northport, MI. The production company has been in the business of creating films for the big screen, commercials for individuals and businesses, and music video production for artists in the area.
Lydia Woodruff, co-founder of New Hero Pictures said “Sandy and George have this magic about them that translates in everything they do. It was such an eye-opening experience to work with them on this, see their process, and help share it with the world. They are known and respected locally, playing music live at shows, and internationally through their Twitch Channel. They are doing huge things in a small town, and we love to see that.”
