NORMAN, OK – Right or wrong, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, “In My Blood” – Houston Bernard might walk the line now, but the result of how he got there is brutal honesty.
Truth in storytelling is the foundation that country music was built on, and Bernard bares all to narrate the story of his family tree in his September 8th single, “In My Blood.” Some of that story includes an absent father, an enlistment, and a great great grandfather who was a famous outlaw THE EAGLES wrote a song about.
“’In My Blood’ is by far one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written and definitely one of the tracks I’m most proud of,” confesses Bernard. “Some of the greatest country songs of all time have a ‘storytelling’ aspect that resonates with you and that’s something I wanted to include. This song is about my family and my journey to learn more about where I come from,and in turn learn more about who I am.”
Houston Bernard showed himself as one to watch in the country music community with the release of his debut EP Songs For The People, showcasing a vast array of musical talent. The tracks received several Spotify editorial playlist adds, including the all-genre TEXAS MUSIC NOW, and highlights by SAVING COUNTRY MUSIC, CMT, COUNTRY REBEL, TULSA MAGAZINE and more. The EP also gained over 1 million streams on Spotify alone.
