Illinois native and country music singer-songwriter Brett Eldredge has debuted the first ever music video shot at historic Wrigley Field.
Brett’s latest single is titled “Wanna Be That Song” and is from his #1 album Illinois that is available everywhere now. Brett debuted the new music video for the song with People.com today (6/22).
People quotes Brett as saying, “I grew up three hours south of Chicago – it was always a journey to come up and we’d plan trips around it. Then I went to college in the suburbs for my first year so I spent a lot of time in the city and man, it’s like my second home.”
Talking about being the first person to film a music video at the home of the Chicago Cubs, “I’ve been a lifelong Cubs fan,” Brett explains, “It’s the first music video ever shot at one of the most historical sporting facilities in the world! It was one of the most amazing experiences of my career so far.”
In the music video Brett walks though the dugout at Wrigley, on the field and in the bleachers while singing the song.
There are also black and white video clips interspersed through the video with Brett dawning a vintage Chicago Cubs uniform. He walks up to the plate to take his turn at bat.
What is even more appropriate for where this music video was filmed, the pitcher Brett is facing is wearing a vintage St. Louis Cardinals uniform. The Cubs-Cardinals rivalry is one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in not just MLB history, but in all of sports.
Does Brett strike out? Does he hit the ball? You will have to watch the music video to find out.
