NFL players’ dreams usually center on scoring touchdowns and making game-saving tackles. Then they watch videos of their performances.
It’s not that much different for musicians, particularly the husband/wife country duo of Shannon Haley and Ryan Michaels.
Their big play occurred in Levi’s Stadium, home of their longtime favorite team, the 49ers. What could be better than shooting a music video for your new single, “Hail Mary,” on your team’s field — and produced by that team, as well?
“We wrote it about the time we were struggling in the music business and in our lives, and felt like, being huge football fans, we were at the point of the game when you threw a Hail Mary,” Haley says.
