Now it’s time for YOU, our audience, to help out! Please look through the finalists videos on YouTube, “like” your favorites, and comment on why you like that video.
Jake will be watching and ultimately decide the winner, who will meet him LIVE in person! The announcement will be made on Monday June 3rd.
We will also announce the winners of a ticket to see Jake at an upcoming show.
Good luck everybody, and thank you to all of our finalists for showing us the influence of Jake’s music on your life!
