Introducing New Orleans’ Native Jake Smith

INTRODUCING NEW ORLEANS’ NATIVE JAKE SMITH & HIS UPCOMING SEPTEMBER 14TH RELEASE

FREE DOWNLOAD FROM UPCOMING RELEASE AVAILABLE TODAY

NASHVILLE, TN…July 14, 2010…Discovering who he is, New Orleans native and independent artist Jake Smith is ready to share his heart and soul on his upcoming September 14th release Everyone Comes from Somewhere.  Being influenced by the rich musical heritage of New Orleans, Jake Smith delivers a polished pop album that is not to be missed with its movement and groove.

Smith is welcoming fans and newcomers to his newly launched website by offering a free download from the new CD starting today. Utilizing the new methods of sharing music via Social Media, Smith will offer an additional download each month leading up to the release in September.

The first download “One False Step” touches why it’s important to find your truest rhythm, to not lose everything by walking out life for the wrong reasons. Click here to get “One False Step” and share it with a friend.

“I feel as if this record is my purest form of expression yet,” shares Smith about this release.  “It’s my story of the last few years. It’s relatable, it’s reliable advice, and it’s relevant in the midst of figuring out who you want to be for the next season of life. I’m excited because I feel like we’ve accomplished something with this one. I think people will agree.”

This 26-year-old has claimed his independence with vigor, selling out local shows at the House of Blues, playing shows with Grammy-award winning artists and landing a main stage gig at his hometown’s annual JazzFest just before Better Than Ezra and Dave Matthews Band.

Already this year, Smith has garnered a song placement (“Once Love”) on NBC’s new hit show “Parenthood,” as well as graced the cover of Lagniappe edition of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.  It is clear that with these achievements, Jake Smith is figuring out where he is coming from and ready to tell his story.

“I’ve realized that everyone comes from somewhere and has been through something. But people can change . . . it’s how you come out of those times,” shares Smith on the title of the new project.

Jake Smith comes out swinging on Everyone Comes from Somewhere, a set that’s old school jam-packed with gripping stories about All haters, all lovers / A man who can’t respect women / A person financially in prison / A preacher who’s doing all the sinning / Everyone comes from somewhere.
