Find Love at Fenway – Behind the Scenes of My New Music Video

 By Whitney Doucet

There’s no place like Fenway Park—especially when you’re a lifelong Red Sox fan like me. So when it came time to film the music video for my latest single Find Love, I knew there was only one place that truly made sense: right in the heart of Section 36 territory, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world—Boston, MA.

The idea actually hit me while reflecting on one of the lyrics in my song:“The sun shines bright over your city / Boston sure looks good on you.”And I thought to myself—we HAVE to shoot that at Fenway Park.

My husband was behind the camera (and even made a hilarious cameo), my best friend Elaina came to support and made a quick appearance in the video, and my husband’s cousin Chris stepped in as the “love interest”—a role he handled like a total pro.

We kicked things off on Lansdowne Street, singing with the Green Monster looming behind me like the legend it is. The energy there is unmatched—it's the heartbeat of Fenway, with people zipping by in Red Sox hats, and a sea of blue, red, marathon yellow, and Monster green apparel glowing in the summer sun. We even filmed some fun skipping shots of me and Chris making our way down Lansdowne, laughing and having a fun moment.

My husband got us Green Monster tickets, and we filmed from what has to be the best view in the house. I made sure to stay respectful of the fans around us—because believe me, as a Sox fan, I get it! I even took breaks between takes just to soak in the game. The crack of the bat, the smooth voice of the announcer, the roar of the crowd—the sound of a Boston summer dream.

We explored every corner we could—filming in the stairwells behind the Monster, by the famous Fenway bricks, and of course, grabbing the ultimate ballpark treat. There’s one moment in the video where I’m about to dive into a classic vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles served in a Sox baseball cap… and suddenly my husband walks by and steals the first bite! My reaction is total shock followed by laughter—and yep, it’s 100% real, I guess I should have gotten him an ice cream too! 

Filming Find Love at Fenway felt like giving baseball fans a mini tour of all the nooks and crannies that make the park so magical. Whether you’ve been a hundred times or have always dreamed of going, I hope this video lets you see just how special Fenway is.

I’ll be back at Fenway on July 6th to sing the National Anthem for the Savannah Bananas game! I can’t wait! 

I’m so proud of this video, and I hope it inspires you to find love—in the music, in the ballpark, and in all the unexpected places life takes you.

Singing the Anthems at Fenway Park by Rebecca Soul

Most people who follow my music journey on social media would never guess, but I deal with intense imposter syndrome and performance anxiety. It’s ironic because performing is my lifeline, and my main source of happiness, but it’s also what terrifies me the most. The passion that fuels me can sometimes feel like a double-edged sword, driving me to give everything I have and leaving me overwhelmed in the process. I’ve been working on myself for years and seeking help through therapy to learn how to manage these feelings. 

This summer, I faced one of the biggest challenges of my life: singing at Fenway Park in front of 37,000 people. It was a dream come true, but it also ignited a firestorm of anxiety inside me. I knew I had to confront this fear head-on. When I found out in May that I would be performing at Fenway, I was filled with a mix of excitement and sheer panic. The enormity of the event weighed on me, but I was determined not to let fear win. For two months leading up to the performance, I dedicated myself to mental preparation as much as vocal training. Every day, I would sit down with my journal and vividly imagine the performance. I wrote down every detail—how I would feel, the sound of my voice resonating through the stadium, the audience’s reaction. I created a mental blueprint of success, a “fake memory” that I could cling to in the actual moment. 

Learning the national anthems was also a new challenge for me. I wanted to respect the tradition while also making it my own. I received all sorts of advice; some people told me not to do runs and sing it exactly as written, while other people told me to add my flavor and go crazy with it. I ended up listening to my gut and just stayed true to myself. I knew some people wouldn’t like my version, and that’s okay; I wasn’t there to please everyone, I was there to be authentically me. The day of the performance arrived, and surprisingly, I felt more excited than anxious, because I had done the work. However, when I arrived at soundcheck, I was really thrown off balance. There were no monitors or in-ears available, and the echo in the stadium meant I could only hear my voice trailing behind me! I panicked. For a moment, it felt like all my preparation was slipping away. When I got home, my roommate tried to reassure me, but I was terrified. I worried that I would mess up in front of thousands, that all my hard work would be for nothing. Yet, I knew I couldn’t let fear take over. I took a deep breath, gathered my strength, and decided to simply trust myself. Walking onto that field was surreal. It felt like stepping into a dream. I knew those who mattered most to me—my parents, my best friends, my cousin from Spain and his wife and my voice professor from Berklee were all there. I felt an overwhelming sense of support and love. And in that moment, I wasn’t thinking about the 37,000 people watching. It was just me, doing what I love, as if I were singing in a small, intimate venue. My heart raced as I started to sing, but my mind was calm. It was an incredible feeling—being nervous yet centered, vulnerable yet strong. And when I finished singing, a wave of relief and pride washed over me. I did it. I smiled, knowing that I had given my all, even without the usual comforts of monitors or in-ears. As I walked off the field, people stopped me to congratulate me. I felt a deep sense of happiness, not just because I had faced my fear, but because I had connected with the audience. 

That’s why I do what I do—to make people feel, to bring a moment of joy into their lives.

Kamryn Visits Section 36 Music!

Brian Doherty

Section 36 Music has another visitor! Kamryn is an incredible singer, whose recent single, "Another Day", is simply outstanding. I was so excited that she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, future goals, and more. I’m sure you’ll enjoy everything she has to say.

So, let's see what happens when Kamryn visits Section 36 Music!

Your recent single, “Another Day” is just amazing. What can you tell me about it?

First of all, thank you so much! “Another Day” was written by myself and Sahaj Ticotin, an amazing producer, musician, and vocalist that I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last few years. The song started as a pop piano ballad that I wrote into my phone. I brought it to Sahaj and he transformed it into the track it is now, with the help of Alex Cabrera on the post chorus drops. It’s about knowing the relationship or situation you’re in is difficult and that you probably can’t save it but you also can’t let it go. To me, this song is like the era of pop music fused with EDM and House. It's my first release in a few years and it was so fun to work on. I’m so happy it’s out and I can share it with everyone!

I also loved the video for the song. What do you enjoy about putting videos together?

I’m so glad! I love it too. I really enjoy the collaboration aspect, and being able to work with such talented people that can take a vision and bring it to life. I got to work with Tyler Ayers of Revelry Studios out of Manchester, NH, who I worked with on my previous video “Without You” in 2019. I told him that I saw this video as relatively simple, just a performance video with some cool lighting so that the song could be highlighted. And that’s exactly what it was, but the visuals itself were also so stunning. The lighting, the strobes, everything about it matched so well with the track.

I also really loved styling myself for the video! I only had two looks but I loved being able to put them together, especially the purple sequin jumpsuit with the pink/red and blue lights behind it. That look was my favorite, it complemented the lighting so well and the sequins gave it a little extra sparkle in places.

You’ve had the opportunity to perform the National Anthem at Fenway Park. What was that experience like?

Yes! Singing at Fenway was so amazing, and I’ve been so lucky to have gotten the opportunities to sing the National Anthem at TD Garden and Gillette Stadium as well. With each performance, I always get so excited and maybe a little nervous but that goes away once I start to sing.

I remember my Fenway Park performance to be so nerve-racking. I was 16 at the time and it was the first time I had ever done anything like that. I had gone to do a soundcheck at the stadium the day before the game and did not know there was going to be such a delay between my live vocal and what came out of the sound system! That game, I was singing God Bless America which is performed during the seventh inning, I spent the first seven innings of the game so nervous about the performance and the delay there was going to be. Once I got on the field to sing, I almost blacked out, but I tried to just focus on my vocals and nothing else. I think I did okay! Since then though, I’ve felt much more prepared for those performances and have gotten to enjoy the experiences much more!

Who or what would you consider your biggest musical influences?

Revelry Studios

I’m influenced by so much. My dad is a musician and has introduced me to so many artists that are some of my greatest influences. Whitney Houston, Queen, Sara Bareilles. Their music has had such an impact on me from such a young age. Christina Aguilera has been my vocal inspiration, along with Whitney, for so long. I feel like I have her riff style so ingrained in my vocal palette. I’ve also always been really inspired by Ariana Grande and her sound. The pop music with heavy R&B influences that really showcase great vocals. I totally want to get to releasing some music like that!

My biggest influence for over half of my life has been Lady Gaga. When I was 11, I remember watching her Thanksgiving special on TV and was in such awe. I just love how versatile she is as an artist and a performer. She’ll go from a dance pop choreographed performance, to a jazz number with Tony Bennett, to a solo piano ballad, and everything will feel so authentic. That Christmas, I asked for a keyboard because I wanted to learn to be like her. I was so inspired! I think around then was the time when I seriously wanted to be a singer and artist.

What would you say is your biggest challenge with your music career?

My biggest challenge has been shifting from cover artist to original artist, most especially with performing, and being more consistent with my original art. I started gigging when I was 13 with my dad around New England, and have always been able to find gigs doing cover music, which I do love doing and I do a lot of it! But it’s been more difficult for me to find gigs for myself as an original artist. Maybe most of my connections are in the cover music world in Boston, but I would definitely love to figure out how to play more original shows in the future!

What are your immediate music goals?

My biggest goal in the near future is to finish up some of the music that I’ve been working on and start releasing it! There’s some really cool songs that I’d love for everyone to hear. I also would love to start putting together a team and perform more shows as an original artist.

I can't wait for the release of that new music!  

As always, I want to thank Kamryn for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram, and Spotify. I'd also bookmark her website to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks again Kamryn, and good luck reaching your goals!

Singing at Fenway - A Guest Blog from Christiana Berenguer

A guest blog by Christiana Berenguer. 

So I have always really wanted to sing at a stadium because it’s an easy way to get in front of such a big audience, and Fenway Park is legendary so that was a dream in itself. I saw a posting on the Berklee hub (an email every Monday about opportunities around Boston) and I just applied. 

Dan Lyons and the rest of the team had me come in for an interview and they said I was one of the 8 people chosen and to send them clips of me singing some of my favorite crowd pleaser songs that everyone would know. So I sent a couple and they liked “Walking on Sunshine” the most. I was super excited because me, my mom and uncle surprised my dad with tickets for him and my mom to come to the game since I got four free tickets. My dad is a HUGE baseball fan and was living his dream. 

So the day before the show I went to soundcheck and was on

the field ready to go and there were some delays due to meetings with the Yankees and Red Sox and so they asked me to soundcheck the day of the game at noon. However, it was POURING that day and long story short they ended up canceling  me singing because I didn’t get to do a soundcheck before the doors opened. I tried every loophole possible and Dan even tried to get me to sing at the game on Sunday but nothing worked out. We still got to go to the Yankees Red Sox game and my dad got to live out his dream so I’m happy about that. 

Fast forward to the day they reschedule me for the Astros and Red Sox game and I was super excited. I did soundcheck, and then me and a group of friends went to the game. I remember being SUPER nervous because I couldn’t hear myself singing so I wouldn’t know what I sounded like, but I was SO ready. I went out there and was just my quirky, awkward, bubbly self. The whole time I was just reminded over and over about how much I want to tour stadiums one day and how much my music career means to me. Taylor Swift is a huge role model for me, and I long to perform in front of thousands of people five days a week. I’m super grateful for all the compliments and love that I received from singing at the Red Sox game. I’m really proud of myself and hope that they ask me to come back one day! Red Sox are the BEST team no matter what anyone says ;)
