Official music video "Park Bench People" by artist Jose James (Brownswood Records)
We shot this music video in a soup kitchen in Brooklyn NY as Jose and I wanted to honor the homeless population that this song was a tribute to. Shot on location in Greenpoint Brooklyn in 2007, I remain very proud of this video as the topic of bringing dignity and joy and to our most vulnerable community members remains near and dear to me.
