Now playing on Australian country radio, the high-octane visual blurs the line between artist and adrenaline junkie &#8211; featuring Kissel performing in front of live bull riding, and in true cowboy fashion, climbing onto a bull himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed by Travis Nesbitt, the video is a stunning match for the song&#8217;s gritty intensity and unshakable spirit, offering a glimpse into Kissel&#8217;s evolution as both a storyteller and showman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Cowboys and Dreamers&#8221; is a powerful anthem about resilience and pushing forward, no matter the odds. With a bold, edgier sound, the track showcases Kissel&#8217;s dynamic vocal range and sonic confidence, pairing emotionally charged lyrics with an undeniable momentum. It&#8217;s a song that leans into the rawness of ambition &#8211; a rallying cry for anyone chasing something bigger than themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve filmed lots of videos in my career but this by far was the most intense. Standing in a rodeo arena with bull riding right behind me is something I will never forget,&#8221; Kissel shares. &#8220;Trying to focus on the words and sing into the camera is hard enough, meanwhile you have to run for your life when a bull is running at you. And then all that adrenaline matched with the mad respect I have for these riders, I just decided to ride one myself. It was crazy, but what a rush. And now it&#8217;s a big piece of the video!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The single is lifted from Let Your Horses Run &#8211; Kissel&#8217;s most elevated and personal record to date. The album marks a pivotal moment in his career, pushing beyond the familiar to explore deeper stories and more expansive sonic territory. From classic country foundations to modern textures, Let Your Horses Run is a bold declaration of growth, drive, and artistic reinvention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its cinematic edge and fearless energy, the &#8220;Cowboys and Dreamers&#8221; video underscores what makes Brett Kissel one of country music&#8217;s most dynamic voices &#8211; unafraid to take risks, unafraid to get real. It&#8217;s a bold chapter in a career defined by reinvention and heart, arriving just in time for a quick visit to Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT BRETT KISSEL:<br>Known for his charismatic personality, dynamic stage presence, and unique musical style, Brett Kissel has soared to the top of the Canadian country music charts as one of the nation&#8217;s most celebrated entertainers.
