Marc Cohn<\/a> promotes gun reform in his moving \u201cWork to Do\u201d video, the title track from his new collaborative album with the gospel group the Blind Boys of Alabama.<\/p>\n

Directed by his daughter Emily, the clip features several people writing inspirational messages on Post-its as the folk artist sings with animated stills behind him. \u201cMy dad and I are huge fans of Peter Gabriel\u2019s \u2018Sledgehammer\u2019<\/a> music video, so this was a nice way of nodding to that,\u201d Emily tells Rolling Stone. <\/em><\/p>\n

The video was unveiled in time for National Gun Survivors Week. Cohn himself is a gun violence victim, having been shot in the head during an attempted carjacking in Denver, Colorado, in 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to find a way that the song and video could have a direct impact on gun reform,\u201d Emily says. \u201cPartnering with Everytown For Gun Safety<\/a>, a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities felt very fitting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohn is currently on a North American spring tour with stops that include the Southwest Florida Convention Center in Bonita Springs, Florida, on February 5th and two nights at the Freight & Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley, California, in April.<\/p>\n

On March 12th, he\u2019ll perform at the Love Rocks NYC<\/a> benefit concert at New York\u2019s Beacon Theater, with a lineup that includes Jackson Browne, Cyndi Lauper, Dave Matthews and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
