Well, that was amazing. Thanks a lot to all who pledged in the past three days! We managed to meet our goal of $5,000 to help pay for recording expenses and touring help. We could use a lot more money and we are giving away some really cool packages so check it out!

This is to fund the recording of my new record, Dad Country (featuring Dawes as backup).

MUSIC VIDEO FOR CHEVY BERETTA!

posted Nov 19, 2011 10:01 PM by Jonny Fritz [ updated Nov 19, 2011 10:02 PM ]

Brooklyn Director, Sean Dunne and editor Kathy Gatto pieced this bad boy together and American Songwriter Magazine premiered it yesterday.
http://www.americansongwriter.com/2011/11/video-debut-jonny-corndawg-chevy-beretta/

“When Jonny and I first talked about making a video for Chevy Beretta we envisioned making the Citizen Kane of music videos. The kind of video that would inspire discussion and one day come to define our generation. Then I realized that Jonny had no money, so I went on the Internet and stole people’s old photos and videos. What you’re seeing here is the culmination of literally tens of minutes of painstaking work. Enjoy.”
-Sean Dunne

Some great pics last night from Minneapolis!
