Jake Gill Saturday the 15th

Jake Gill is a country artist not to be ignored. His love of country music came by way of working on his grandfather's farm where he heard it on the radio. He heard all the "olds," but then Garth Brooks came along to change the game and it became something Jake needed to dive into. After fifteen years in his own chiropractic practice, he found himself on NBC's The Voice with Blake Shelton as his mentor and made his way into the finals. He released his first album in 2012 and has kept the music coming ever since. Not only does he love music, he loves his fellow man and his desire to help people—especially veterans—is extraordinary. He's an artist with a lot of heart and ton of music and love in that heart.
