“The Official video for “Backyard Heroes” the title song off Kidd Russell’s album Backyard Heroes. The song is a reflective story similar to Rudy, The Sandlot and is about Kidd Russell & his best friends growing up in Deerfield, IL. The story is centered around football. Kip “Kidd” Russell’s is a former college football player. Although, injuries cut his career short his best friend Aaron Moorehead went on to play in the NFL for 6 years. Another of his best friends Colt Cabana, seen in the video, went on the WWE & Kidd himself is a Alternative hip hop artist. This is a very American story that any athlete will relate too. For more info please watch the behind the scenes story or email Kidd at kiddrussmusic@gmail.com.

To create this video we teamed up with Chicago’s own Players Sports Group (playerssports.net). Founded in 1993, Players Sports Group has grown into one of Chicago’s largest and best providers of adult recreational sports leagues, tournaments and social events in Chicago and were a perfect fit to represent the theme of this video. Players Sports has over 50,000 “backyard heroes” playing in leagues all across Chicago and many different sports – in fact Kidd Russell himself is one of them. His flag football team the Alpha Betas has won several PSG football Championships over the past years.
