Fans of HBO’s hit series, True Blood have been waiting anxiously for the show’s new season. Now, a new trailer for Season Six has been released to the masses via YouTube. And any fan of the show that lives in North Carolina will have even more reason to smile when they watch it. That’s because Durham, North Carolina’s own Delta Rae is featured prominently in the trailer. Or rather, the band’s music is featured. The band’s debut single, ‘Bottom of The River’ from its Warner Brothers Records debut album, Carry The Fire is used as a music bed for the trailer. The band was quite excited about having its music used in the trailer. “We’ve been immense fans of True Blood since the pilot” vocalist Brittany Holljes explains. “The show captures southern myth and the magic of American folklore — the same mysterious storytelling that inspires so much of our music. To go from dressing up like the whole cast (Yes, I was Sookie) for Halloween three years ago, to hearing our song on the trailer is utterly MIND BLOWING.” The trailer for True Blood Season Six can be viewed on YouTube at http://youtu.be/tGgt_jllHcA. The official video for the single can be viewed at http://youtu.be/bimam2j2gEg. And fans can even check out a very special performance of the song with a group of young fans with Staten Island, NY’s famed PS22 Chorus. The PS22 Chorus has also performed with Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, and a number of other famous artists. Along with its performance of ‘Bottom of the River’, the band also performed renditions of ‘If I Loved You’, ‘Dance in the Graveyards’ and ‘Fire’ with its young fans. Links to the performances are available via YouTube below.
