Lee Greenwood, Home Free and the United States Air Force Band's Video for "God Bless the USA" Has Gone Viral
Lee Greenwood, Home Free and the United States Air Force Band's brand new video "God Bless the USA" has gone viral. The video has had received 200 million views through all social media platforms. The brand new version of this Greenwood composition is taken from Home Free's latest's album Home of the Free. The performers are also awarded the 2021 Telly Award win for "Most Viral Video."
The Telly Awards honor excellence in local, regional, and cable television commercials as well as non-broadcast video and television programming. With the recent evolution and rise of digital video (web series, VR, 360 and beyond), the Telly Awards today also reflects and celebrates this exciting new era of the moving image on and offline. The Telly Awards annually receive over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and 5 continents, showcasing the best work created within television and across video, for all screens.
"God Bless The USA is timeless and five times a year during President's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, 9/11, and Veterans Day I get requests to do events and perform it," says Greenwood.
"This version just happens to be special because it includes the US Air Force Band and was arranged and put together by Home Free, who are an amazing vocal group. I have been inundated with questions about this version and how it came together as people just love the feel of it. Now to win an award and know that almost one-third of our entire US population has heard this version is astounding to me."
"Working with Lee Greenwood on such an iconic song was amazing and intimidating, at the same time. First off, we didn't know how to top the original. Secondly, we were in a pandemic situation with members of the group in different states. Then add in the US Air Force Band. All of us had chill bumps on the final outcome that we all immediately were in agreement to make a video," says Home Free's Austin Brown.
"How could we make a video in so many places was the first thought. Then our team was able to make it all happen and we were thrilled to release it in time for July 4 of last year. It was an honor to be part of this creative work and what an honor now to win a Telly Award for 'Most Viral Video' with over 200 million views across all social platforms."
