JON HARDY & THE PUBLIC – A HARD YEAR

Jon Hardy is the silence of the plains spoken at 120 decibels. The beating rumble of the San Andreas and the Mississippi in a back alley fistfight. A hard-won Saturday night of found salvation and lost heads. Welfare checks and Sunday sermons. Hard times, hard luck, and hard-to-give-up hope. The ghosts of once great cities living with all the soul they got. Jon Hardy is American music built in St. Louis.

This video was a dedication to all the forgotten people who needed a shot of hope to make it through the great recession.
