These Wicked Rivers 'Rise' by Conor Lee Butler

Promonews - 11th Nov 2026

Conor Lee Butler has directed a stylish and atmospheric video for Derbyshire blues-rock outfit These Wicked Rivers, who recently topped the UK Rock chart with their latest album Fire And Folklore. 

For the video for Rise, young director Butler captures the independent spirit and musicality of the band who have gained a big following for their live shows, as they perform in woods and outside their campervan, while they travel to a an idyllic sun-kissed gathering.

While making the video Butler was mentored by Andy Morahan - the music video directing legend who put Guns 'N Roses on the road to glory - who is currently shooting a documentary about These Wicked Rivers. And this video serves as an excellent introduction to the band - and the forthcoming doc.
