Jake Green was a hardworking songwriter from an age when people listened to their music on vinyl, on cassette tapes, on the radio and on each other’s guitars. Jake almost made it, back in those days. That was before the tragedy. The one that involved his beloved daughter and broke him like a ballad. So he did something drastic and quit. And it was down to Jake’s best buddy, Smithy, to bring him back years later to write and play and sing again . . . But it’s a different world now. Everything has changed. Except music. And people. They don’t change that much. But for Jake to make his music reach the right people he had to go and do something drastic all over again. Really drastic. But brilliant. Really, really brilliant. This is a story about Jake the singer and songwriter. But it is the story of thousands of Jakes and thousands of Janes, the ones you never get to hear about or the ones you get to hear about only briefly because ‘they never made it’. The music business is two worlds. There is the world of music and there is the world of business. And as Jake proves, you don’t always have to make it in both worlds to make it.
