EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Liz Moriondo’s “Throw Ya Back”

By on October 16, 2015 in In The Press


Country singer/songwriter Liz Moriondo announces “Throw Ya Back” as the first single off her debut self-titled EP. Produced by David Huff (Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, The Doobie Brothers), the song was written by Moriondo for Bass Pro Shops CEO, Johnny Morris.

 

“I am from the birthplace of Bass Pro Shops. They have been a big part of my life for a long time, and Johnny Morris has been so supportive of my career that I wrote him this song,” adds Moriondo, a Missouri native who is now based in Nashville.

 

The music video is imbued with humor, and the song, which aptly compares some men to fish that just aren’t ready to be caught, is already a favorite around Bass Pro headquarters in Springfield, MO. “Most women have been there at least once in their life. You catch a guy and immediately know you want to just throw him back,” adds Liz with a smile.

Liz Moriondo has partnered with some of the top names in the outdoor industry to premiere the official music video for “Throw Ya Back.” Her video will also be featured on three nation-wide outdoor shows airing on the Hunt Channel, Pursuit Channel, World Fishing Network, and NBC Sports. Directed by Jimmy Sites, VP of the Hunt Channel and producer of Spiritual Outdoor Adventures, the video was shot in Lyles, TN.

Next week, fans can see Liz Moriondo perform “Throw Ya Back,” as well as other songs off the EP, at the World’s Hunting and Waterfowl Expo at the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid in Memphis, TN on Oct. 22.
