OUR AMBASSADORS REPRESENT OUR MISSION

Our 1st Ambassador, pop country artist, CHASE MATTHEW, (Warner Music Nashville Artist) represented us with a large financial donation to launch our public charity and showed up to deliver our toys to the YMCA for Kiwanis for Kids and United Way of Robertson County, TN's distribution day beginning in Christmas, 2021! Chase also bought a young man a new bed that day. We owe him a great debt of gratitude. He continues to support us year after year.

Since then, Chase has enjoyed two platinum recordings and multiple Gold's in the U.S. and abroad and is continuing to produce new hits, with "Love You Again" reaching TOP 4 on Country Radio in 2024 and his current song, "Darlin'" climbing into the Top 20 on Country radio as this is being written! Additionally, he has released two songs with country music artist, Lauren Alaina, "Heart Half Empty" and "Ex's Would Agree". Congratulations, Chase. 

Go support this young man! He has been a blessing and we look forward to having more Partners and Ambassadors, who have a passion to help the least of these, like Chase!

Nashville recording artist and singer-songwriter, Jessica McNear is proof that hard work can make it possible for somebody living in Smalltown, USA to find success in today’s competitive music industry.  The native of tiny Freedom, Pennsylvania has grown from her early days singing in her church choir into a professional singer and music collaborator in Music City.  

Jessica’s debut EP, Leavin’ Home, was inspired by her decision to relocate from Pittsburgh to Nashville when she was just 20 years-old.  Assisting Jessica with the creation of the EP were Sonic Eden’s, John Albani (collaborated on projects involving tours for acts such as RUSH, Black Sabbath, and Jon Bon Jovi) and Mark Oliverius (worked with country legacy artists, Lorrie Morgan and Pam Tillis).

AMERICAN LEGION

POST #17

Gallatin, TN 37066

Mike was born in rural, mountainous Hot Springs/Spring Creek, NC. With his home located near the Appalachian Trail, Mike fondly remembers boyhood days of working on the farm, swimming in the river and creeks, fishing, and hunting. More telling though for Mike's future music story, however, is how he began his inspiring education and journey into the world of music, which was introduced to him by his parents and family.  Mike's parents were both talented musicians. They started a band called JL and the Country Squires, which became well-known for their hit song, "Living in the Present, Loving in the Past." Mike can play just about any instrument, due to his family's influence and has worked alongside many recognizable artists over the years.

When Mike turned 18, he joined the military. He had many great life changing experiences serving in the Marines, and after several years, Mike switched over and became a Navy Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (A DOC). Mike is an awarded veteran with two Presidential awards and many Navy Achievement Medals and Marine Corps Commendation awards. 

In addition to music and military service, Mike has served as Youth Development Specialist at the Boys & Girls Club in Beaufort, SC.  He is also the CEO of www.srejams.com .

Mike always kept music in his life and today he is a touring singer/songwriter artist, with a hit song and video going viral online with a signature line dance!  See links below.

Elaine began singing at the age of five and music has been a part of her life ever since. She credits her mother's side of the family for her musical talent.  The Roy side of the family loved country, bluegrass and gospel music. 

Elaine learned to play guitar at 10 on a Gibson her dad had purchased for $100. She still has that guitar to this day. Elaine's younger brother, Lee, at age nine, formed a duo with Elaine aptly named, "The Roys." With Lee playing mandolin and Elaine on guitar, they developed that sweet sibling harmony that just came naturally. 

 Their dream of performing on the Grand Ole Opry came true in 2006  and they toured internationally, appearing on 

well-known TV shows.  After many years of this, Lee decided to follow a different path for his family.  Elaine began writing and singing again and gained the attention of Grace Records Nashville, whom she signed with recently. Elaine's new song, "Heading In a New Direction," was penned by Elaine, and Vince Gill appears courtesy of MCA Nashville on harmonies and released on August 11th, 2023. Elaine shares, "I feel a new excitement about music and look forward to where God leads me on this journey."

 Thank you, Elaine for joining us as an Ambassador.We look forward to growing with you! Reach out to Elaine for bookings at butterfly.wingslady@yahoo.com.

ALEX is an Americana Songwriter and Artist from the Foothills of Appalachia just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. However, after meeting his Nashville-native wife Jordin, this Northerner got hitched and now calls Gallatin, TN his home. With a myriad of influence from different musicians, ranging from traditional country heroes like Kristofferson, Cash and Waylon; 90's Rock, and modern Country heroes like Darius Rucker; adding in just a dash of Dobro, Hammond Organ, and Dulcimer, he makes a sound all his own!

Alex released his first studio recording in 2023, titled "Beehive Coke".  It's a rich homage to the first ridge of Appalachia and the hardworking men and women that make the culture what it is. It can be found on all streaming platforms. 

Additionally, Alex is an Emcee around the Nashville area (Fox & Locke, Leiper's Fork, TN), as well as host of a few Podcasts. However, He'll tell you all about that!
