MORGAN WALLEN STANDS BEHIND VETS IN “COVER ME UP” SHORT FILM

Big Loud Records PLATINUM-selling star Morgan Wallen shines a compassionate light on soldiers struggling with PTSD in his extended-length video for “Cover Me Up,” offering our nation's heroes a musical shoulder to help carry their load.

WATCH THE STUNNING “COVER ME UP” (SHORT FILM) HERE.

Directed by Justin Clough and shot near Leiper’s Fork, TN, the eight-minute short film shows a young vet returning home from war – but try as he might, it’s like a piece of it followed him home. With Wallen's emotive vocal acting as a soul-stirring narrator, the clip digs deep into the prices paid by service members and their families, with understanding and love ultimately helping lead toward recovery. But as it does in real life, the battle for a happy ending rages on.

Wallen first covered Jason Isbell’s gripping “Cover Me Up” in late 2018, and his version has quickly become a fan favorite with nearly 20 MILLION streams on Spotify alone. Meanwhile, his grooving latest single, “Chasin’ You,” is cruising through Country radio’s Top 50, with no stop sign in sight. 

Wallen is currently on the road rocking sold-out crowds on Luke Combs BEER NEVER BROKE MY HEART tour and will end that run with back-to-back sellouts at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on December 12 – 13. The breakout artist will then launch his headlining MONSTER ENERGY OUTBREAK TOUR PRESENTS: MORGAN WALLEN’S WHISKEY GLASSES ROADSHOW on January 2 in Grand Rapids, MI. Featuring special guests Jon Langston and Ashland Craft, tickets for the nationwide trek are on sale now.
