Jake
Owen recently played his second Stageit show to benefit St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital. “The concerts are very spur of the
moment,” he says. “There aren’t any mics or cords, just a few guitars
and my MAC that has an eyesight camera on it. I tweet about it ahead of
time to let everyone know we’re doing it. The other night we raised 3K
for St. Jude in just 35 minutes. I would have been playing music with my
friends in my kitchen anyway, so it’s a pretty cool way to give back.”
Jake’s philanthropy continues on December 10th at the benefit he and his
childhood friend, tennis player Mardy Fish, are hosting for the sixth
consecutive year in their hometown of Vero Beach, Florida. The “Mardy’s
Tennis & Jake’s Music Fest” will include performances by Eric
Paslay, Chris Young and Jake. Jake’s portion of the proceeds are donated
to St. Jude and The Mardy Fish Foundation, whose mission is to provide
children access to after school exercise, nutritional and enrichment
programs in a safe environment to prepare them healthy, productive and
successful lives so they can achieve their dreams. To purchase tickets,
