Poor Jake Owen. It seems Friday the 13th turned out to be a pretty bad day for him.
He was spending his free time snowboarding in Colorado while at the Crested Butte Songwriters Festival when he broke his collar bone. Afterwards he tweeted this picture to his fans saying ‘Guess I charged this mountain a little too hard’. Jake plans to go ahead with his scheduled performances saying ‘If I have to sit on a stool I’ll be there. I can’t let y’all down’.
The inaugural Crested Butte Songwriters Festival will be held at The Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado the festival revolves around two nights of performances staged at local hot spots featuring performances by a collection of the best performing songwriters in the world. Crowds experience the faces, voices and stories behind hit songs during signature in-the-round acoustic performances
An event-capping benefit concert will be held tonight, January 14, to raise funds for Tough Enough to Wear Pink and the TJ Martell Foundation.
To date, the Tough Enough campaign has raised $9 million for breast cancer charities; the TJ Martell Foundation has helped provide more than $250 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research.
Performances will feature a diverse collection of the world’s top songwriters.
