FORTUNE CHILD Releases Official Music Video for "All I Wanna Know"

Jacksonville, FL based Rock band FORTUNE CHILD has revealed the official music video for their newest single, "All I Wanna Know." Imbued with classic guitar licks and an infectious groove, "All I Wanna Know" was mixed / engineered by Ben McLeod (All Them Witches).

“All I Wanna Know” is the next step towards what we feel is becoming our new sound. It holds true to our Rock roots, but there’s also a bit of a sonic expedition in the mid section, and the visual that goes along with the video hints at that as well. We’ve got a lot of genre-bending in our future and we feel like this is our first real leap in that direction as a trio." - FORTUNE CHILD

Soul - Blues. Three fundamental sounds that new power trio, Fortune Child, blend and mold to create serious sonic badassery. Over the course of one year, Christian Powers (lead vocals/drums,) Buddy Crump (guitarist,) and Jon Ward (bassist) have begun to redefine the Rock genre while still holding true to their roots. Boasting powerful leads, long jams, and a genre-bending sound, the band is carving a path of its own with the guidance and experience of engineer Ben McLeod and legendary producer/engineer Kevin Elson (Journey / Mr. Big/ Lynyrd Skynyrd).


In the short time that they've been together, Fortune Child has already taken to the stage with the likes of Cedric Burnside, All Them Witches, The Georgia Thunderbolts, Blacktop Mojo, Classless Act and many more to come. Along with their on-stage accomplishments, the group has done just as much off stage. Fortune Child won the 2022 Great Atlantic Southern Rock Revivalspotlight presented by iHeart Radio and Planet Radio, landing them a slot on the southeast's newest Rock festival of the year. The press quickly latched on to the release of their debut album, "Close to the Sun", including Yahoo! News, as well as a handful of radio stations across the US. This created the foundation to what is now quickly becoming a core fanbase for this young Rock outfit. December saw their most recent single, "Fool Me Once", and will be followed by a monthly release beginning January of the new year.

Jacksonville, FL based Rock band FORTUNE CHILD has unveiled the official lyric video for their new single, "Fool Me Once," \which was engineered and mixed by Ben McLeod (All Them Witches), "Fool Me Once".

"Although 'Fool Me Once' was recorded in the studio, it was done live - in one room, all at once, and in one take. This track sonically encompasses how we feel emotionally about music and each other as a band. It's raw, loud as hell, just punch-you-in-the-mouth sorta sound. With this being our debut single as a trio, we really wanted to come out with a bang. Give it a listen, we're sure you'll get it." - FORTUNE CHILD

It's no secret that these North Florida natives respect their Rock 'N' Roll elders. It's the true feel of the 70's (bell bottoms, mustaches and all) but with a touch of modern flair. Having just formed in 2021, Fortune Child (Christian Powers / vocals, Buddy Crump / lead guitar, Melanie Jo / drums, Jon Ward / bass) has quickly garnered the support of the Southeast US Rock 'N' Roll scene and will continue to do so with each passing day. These cats know how to rock, and it seems that there's no stopping them once those first notes rip through the air.

For 2022, the band has partnered with legendary rock producer Kevin Elson(Journey, Mr. Big, Europe, Lynyrd Skynyrd) to produce their full length debut album, Close to the Sun, due in early March. Their first single, "Far", is already well on its way, having found its own rightful spot on Yahoo! News and has gathered press coverage in countries as far away as Australia and Russia. It even got a good old-fashioned thumbs up from Billy Gibbons himself and has turned the heads of some of the industry's heaviest hitters. This sort of thing leads us all to wonder: What could come next for this brand new Rock 'N' Roll freight train?
