Steve Martin‘s music video for his song “Me and Paul Revere” premiered yesterday on RollingStone.com. Filmed in an industrial loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in front of a select group of fans, the video captures an intimate and special performance by Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. The song is already making waves in Massachusetts with the Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight currently voting on passing a bill that will make Martin’s “Me and Paul Revere” the state’s official Revolutionary War song.

Martin was originally inspired to write and record the song after reading David Hackett Fischer’s book, Paul Revere’s Ride and in anticipation of his performance on PBS’ broadcast of A Capitol Fourth this past summer. In his own unique twist, Martin crafted the song to tell a wonderful story about the historical ride from the perspective of Revere’s horse.

Martin also celebrates the release of his new book today The Ten, Make That Nine, Habits of Very Organized People. Make That Ten. A New York Times bestselling author and Twitter phenomenon, Martin has gathered his best tweets in a laugh-out-loud collection and will appear on Good Morning America and Tavis Smiley on February 22nd in support of the book.With more than 1.5 million followers (a number growing by the day) and a now famously uncanny ability to pack 140 characters with a maximum amount of humor and wit, Steve Martin has redefined what it means to be a celebrity in today’s world of social media.

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers are currently on tour in support of their #1 bluegrass release, Rare Bird Alert, which most recently received a Grammy® nomination for Best Bluegrass Album.
