Sit Down with Jake Thistle

Pull up a chair for an enlightening conversation with Jake Thistle! Jake chronicles his musical career which indeed began with Tom Petty’s half time performance at Super Bowl 42 and continues with Jake supporting Mike Campbell’s animal rescue organization, The Tazzy Fund – Rock the Dogs (tazzyfund.org). Along the way, Mike has even gifted Jake a beautiful 1964 guitar! We hear Jake’s behind-the-scenes story about the hottest ticket in New Jersey, The American Music Honors. Jake discusses his other affiliations with the American Cancer Society (another long philanthropic history) and WhyHunger. He talks about his favorite songs of activism and social justice. Finally, we get the run down on two very interesting sounding courses at Rutgers University from this very busy college student. In 2023, Jake released The Half Left Out and keep your eyes open for his live album coming out this summer! Jake is hitting the east coast so be sure to check out his website (jakethistle.com) for all of the dates. Please consider making a small donation to The Tazzy Fund (tazzyfund.org) and WhyHunger (whyhunger.org).
