Dropkick Murphys have released a video for their new single “A Hero Among Many,” one of the 5 bonus tracks included on the band’s expanded digital version of their For The People album (Dummy Luck Music label / [Play It Again Sam]).

“A Hero Among Many” pays tribute to 9/11 hero Welles Crowther (“The Man In The Red Bandana”), an equities trader, volunteer firefighter and Boston College alumnus who lost his life while saving others during the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York City, where he worked. Months after the tragedy, many survivors realized the person who saved them, “the man in the red bandana,” was Crowther. Dropkick Murphys’ powerful and inspirational video, directed by Dark Details, recounts Welles’ courageous actions that fateful day, and shows examples of many people who have been inspired by his actions and the unique ways in which they have honored him.

Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey explains, “We are happy this song can bring attention to the actions of a real life hero who gave his own life to help others.”
