Jake Smith Joins Forces with the National Breast Cancer Foundation

Jake Smith Joins Forces with NBCF

Singer/Songwriter to Launch Awareness Campaign Online and On Tour

Nashville, Tenn. June 28, 2007. Rocketown Records' latest signing, New Orleans singer/songwriter Jake Smith has linked up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help raise awareness about early detection and treatment of the disease. Launching next month, Smith will sponsor an information campaign online as well as at his concerts.

Having experienced breast cancer's devastation in his family, Smith is eager to help fight the battle. "My mother has beaten breast cancer twice now," says Smith. "Her success is due largely to regular check-ups and early treatment. The public needs to be informed so that they can look out for themselves, their sisters, daughters, wives, and friends."

Smith created the member profile name, "jakesmithmusic" in MyNBCF, to show his support for the organization and will be including a link to the National Breast Cancer Foundation's web site on jakesmithmusic.com. Smith also plans to distribute NBCF literature while on tour and has invited representatives to his CD launch party later this summer to record several audio and video public service announcements for the group.

"Jake is a remarkable person and an extraordinary musician," says Janelle Hail, founder of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. "We are thrilled that he has partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to get the message out about the importance of early detection."

Smith's July 31 debut release, Real, offers soulful, groove-based pop that blends seamlessly together to create a sound reflective of New Orleans' richness and eclecticism. Drawing from recent trauma in Smith's life, this very personal record is infused with the genuine hope and optimism that surrounds Smith himself.
