<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Produced by ;<strong>GRAMMY®-nominated</strong> ;producer ;<strong>Marc Johnson</strong>, the song—penned by ;<strong>John Mellencamp ;</strong>and released on his ;<em>Whenever We Wanted</em> ;(1991) album—came across Harvey at a young age. “Mellencamp’s ;<em>Whenever We Wanted ;</em>album is my favorite of his and ‘Get A Leg Up’ was the lead single,” says Harvey. “The record came out when I was a teenager and I loved it!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inspired by the stripped-down production and in-your-face guitar riffs, Harvey decided to take “Get A Leg Up” into another dimension by arranging it as a duet with female soul singer ;<strong>Alaina Renae</strong>. “I wanted to do something to make it different,” notes Harvey. “I thought to myself that this is a conversation between a girl and a guy. It was a fun project that came together very quickly, over a couple of weeks.” Renae, a powerful vocalist out of Indianapolis, Indiana, found her debut album, ;<em>The Introduction</em>, reaching #4 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Album Chart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I’m writing and performing the stories of my life—some truth, some lies, but all real American music,” says the expressive Harvey about his recent ;<em>Run From The Sound</em> ;EP. “I want people to come away from my shows thinking this is a roots rock guy that plays with the energy of a punk rock band.” That’s the edge fans can expect from his hard-hitting “Heyburn,” the project’s lead single that caught the ears of ;<a href="https://ymlpcl1.com/86782uywqaiaehyuyaoaqmjaxabeqs/click.php"><em><strong>Americana Highways</strong></em></a> ;which raved: “with a Neo-classic rock style, Chad Harvey will hit you where your heartland vibes live.” ;<a href="https://ymlpcl1.com/0b477uywyalaehyuyalaqmjadabeqs/click.php"><em><strong>American Songwriter</strong></em></a> ;backed that sentiment saying, “Harvey carries on the unique sounds that echo from the Heartland. He is a gifted writer with a natural tendency toward a Gibson 6-string and a warm Midwestern drawl that helps tell his stories.” To kick off the album’s promotional efforts, ;<a href="https://ymlpcl1.com/8d3b7uyqsadaehyuyaiaqmjanabeqs/click.php"><em><strong>DittyTV</strong></em></a> ;partnered with Harvey on the project to debut the official music video for “Heyburn” and aired it on their show “The Curve.” ;</p>
