STEVE AZAR -ONE MISSISSIPPI
Hey everyone,
The official Mississippi Bicentennial song is now available to stream!
Back in 2017, the Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant asked me to write the official Mississippi bicentennial song, & it wasn't until recent that me & my boys finally had the opportunity to get together & make a record out of it.
What made this project even more special was that our oldest son Strack Azar, who is a heck of a filmmaker, was called in from Los Angeles to document this very cool experience. He's done other videos for me in the past, including my "Something In the Water" feature documentary, so it was great to work with him again. He is currently in production for his feature film "The Banality" starring award-winning actor Chris Mulkey, so be on the lookout for that.The entire 5+ minute video of us recording this song took place in the Governor's Studio at the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience museum in Meridian, Ms! We were the first to record there! Hey, someone had to break that baby in! 😉
Anyway, this song means a lot to me so I hope you all feel the same as I did while writing it.
