Carry On by Jake McVey

Jake McVey

Within every musical soul, theres always an inner battle between security and creativity. Newcomer Jake McVey made the decision to walk away from a lucrative business designing and building custom guitars to pursue his dream. Instead of providing instruments for others to play music, he decided to step out and make his own. It was a scary leap, confesses McVey, who just released his second album, Anything is Possible. Everyone always wants security, but I always knew I was going to go this direction. It got to the point where I was doing a ton of shows and still working the day job. I always knew I was going to make music and somehow you just come to the point where its time. I bought a bus, sold everything I had, moved in it and went on the road. The decision has paid off as McVey has become one of the most in demand young acts in country music. Performing 300 shows last year, he was named one of the Top Ten touring acts by Billboard magazine. His experience encompasses a variety of venues from sold out clubs to opening for Martina McBride in front of a crowd of 22,000. His high-energy stage show has earned the respect of fellow performers as hes paid his dues opening for Dierks Bentley, Sugarland, Keith Anderson, Jason Aldean and Little Big Town, among others. This year he was booked for 10 consecutive nights at the Iowa State Fair. I love to entertain, thats my drug, says McVey, whose upbeat attitude and impressive work ethic are nearly as appealing as his fresh country sound. I love people, the more the better. I dont really get butterflies anymore. Its just great to entertain and do what you love to do.

When we go on tour, well visit nursing homes or childrens hospitals before our show in that town and do a 45-minute acoustic show. Its great. Ive heard 90 something-year-old women who can whistle louder than I can. They are just having a heck of a time. It feels good to go into a town and give something back.
