Check out this commercial that used "Who Killed All My Heroes" it's a good cause
.I was born in Northern California, the State capital. Then taken around the States in a series of adventures we'll call "renting then running" by my Parents. I packed in a lot of Miles on shoes made of rubber with straps of velcro. We lived on a ranch in rural Oregon for example. I once brought a fantastic plastic sword from the state fair home, only to have it pecked apart by our pet chicken, Broom Helda. She paid for it later, i say regretfully.
Eventually we settled in a small town outside Yosemite National Park, where I learned the wonder of the vacuum of time. It stands still like the eye of a hurricane up there. I like to think that I lived in a bubble most of my childhood, left alone with my imagination. A blond haired kid doing his best impression of wall paper. Music was an out. A different world full of witchita linemen and judy blue eyes with Rose colored glasses. Not a whole lot excites me as much, to this day. I was one of the lucky ones to have a musician/parent. My father taught me guitar as soon as my hands could decently hold one. Thankfully he never taught me how to throw a football well, because now I'd just be a drunk with an old letterman jacket and a fistful of memories. I left for Los Angeles with my head full of plans, and faced with the hard reality, did my best to forget about that back up plan everyone's always talking about. When you have one, you'll use it the moment things get rough, and things get rough quick in tinsel town. I've got my ear to the ground. I'm pushing the luck train up the hill. I could use all the help I can get. Listen to the tracks, I'm writing more as of now. More images pop and sqeal all the time. And I know the best part of my life is yet to come. Enjoy the songs. Tell your Friends. be warm and well.
Spread the word about the New album, if you post it, you might get a free copy!

"You were a prince bro" I am glad I got a chance to listen to your music. Funny story, I rocked your music on my ipod in the coffee house today. Everyone loved it, it's too bad Friday night was dead and very few people came to get coffee. I promise if you come through again I will pack the house for you. If I ever get a chance to travel to California I will definitely let you know. I would love to jam with you and check out what made you into the artist you are today. Could you possibly send me the chords to "I'm a bird" or "Awake." I love both of those songs and would love to have a chance to rock them at home on my guitar. I hope all is well, stay up and keep bringing the funk.
Great to finally be friends here. Really liking your tunes. We are releasing a fullband version of our song Broken Sleeve this week. Be sure to check it out.
Jake! Thanks so much for the support! Love the tunes... And your influences are good ones. I would love to catch a show sometime. I'll try and swing it on the 12th!
Hey Jake Newton (twitter @jakenewton), How are you? I hope you are well. My girlfriend just directed my first music video. It's her first film. Let us know what you think! It's up on my website, which she also built. She's hot too! Guess I won the girlfriend lottery.
Thanks so much, Emrys Hanley Music You Can Feel EmrysHanley.com theindustree.com/emryshanley

Helo, Jake Newton (twitter @jakenewton). I hope things are going well. I’m here to present you a new ethnical remix with influences of dance and, specially, house music produced for the folk band called Coanhadeira. Real instruments like bagpipes, acoustic guitars and other classical sounds played by the band are included. The track is sung in "gallego", a particlar languaje similar to Portuguesse that's spoken where me and this band are living. If you are interested in getting this remix for your radio show, dj sets or whatever, don’t hesitate to contact me, please. Other even more important thing is if you are feeling uncomfortable with this comment, please, send me a private message aswel letting me know about it. This is really important for me! :) Big big hugs.
