Carter’s Chord’s New Inspirational Video “Love A Little Bigger” Debuts on VEVO

Sisters Traveled to Dominican Republic to Support World Vision and Shoot Authentic Footage

Carter's ChordLast Monday country rising stars Carter’s Chord (Becky Robertson, Emily Fortney, Joanna Ott) premiered their video for “Love A Little Bigger.” This week I caught up with the girls to talk about the song and the video. (Well, two out of three of them. Becky was on her honeymoon in Maui… whatever, we’re jealous. But congrats to her and her husband Jeremiah Scott!)

As we reported a little while ago, the girls traveled to the Dominican Republic with World Vision to shoot the video, which premiered exclusively on VEVO on April 16th.

“We really felt a great connection [with World Vision],” said Joanna.  “We have a huge heart for that sort of thing, and it’s been an honor to partner with such a great organization.”

Director Chris Hickey (Better Life, by Keith Urban; Our Kind of Love, by Lady Antebellum) was along for the ride, shooting authentic footage for the video. The girls even said that he was going to dedicate more of his time to World Vision after this experience.

“This is all live footage from the Dominican,” said Emily. “There were no extras or makeup artists. All the shots were real moments captured with real people.”

Not only that, but all of the children featured in the video are in the World Vision program, which means they are either sponsored or waiting to be sponsored.

And don’t think for a second that Carter’s Chord doesn’t put their money where their mouth is. They sponsor a four-year-old girl, Franyely, who they got to meet for the first time.

“Everyone can do their part,” said Joanna. “We just want to inspire people to ‘love a little bigger.’”

The video is currently on VEVO, and making its rounds all over TV. Click here to buy it on iTunes, and check out the video below!


About Carter’s Chord:

Sisters Joanna, Emily and Becky spent their childhood immersed in the sounds of country music, specifically the Outlaw Movement, thanks to parents Carter and Barny Robertson, who toured and performed with Waylon Jennings during the height of that legendary period of country music. Their six-song EP is saturated with a similar attitude and style, music that stands just outside the boundaries, while remaining true to the roots and vibe that is country music. “Love A Little Bigger” is available on the EP titled, Wild Together.

Tracy Lawrence, You’ve Been GHERMed!

Tracy Lawrence

Does it help to show a little muscle when GHERMing?!

Definition of a GHERM:

Someone who slavishly follows and sucks up to a celebrity. A fan to excessive degree. Usually applied to one who makes people uncomfortable by their adoration.
“That guy is such a gherm. He buys every piece of merchandise related to that singer and attends every show.”

A person not affiliated with the music industry but who has connections that can get them backstage concert access. They then get backstage and totally get in the way of those who are supposed to be there working. Term originated at Starwood Amphitheater in Antioch, TN during the summer of 1990.
“Wow, this load-out would be a breeze but the gherms at this Jimmy Buffet show are totally getting in the way!”
