“Rise Above” is a story that we can all relate to in our lives. Brad Real takes the listener through his journey with music and the relationship that has been formed, torn down and built back up again. Speaking as if music were his female companion, Real draws in the audience with vivid and articulate wordplay that allows the song’s story to come across as if it were being read from a book. Singer/songwriter Jason Firebaugh makes the record come together in amazing fashion with his on-point guitar delivery and incredible vocals. These two artists form an intriguing contrast yet their sounds fit together perfectly over the crisp and soothing production from 8729 Records music producer Nick J.

“Times I’ve I tried, long ago/ Rise above hell below/ Now I sleep through the night/ Rise above hell below”
