International shoe charity Soles4Souls has partnered with 2006 Female Vocalist of the Year AJ Jansen. Jansen has performed at The Big E, New England's biggest Country Fair Rich, The Wolf Den at The Mohegan Sun, and The Newport Blues Café, and The Bitter End, to name a few. In 2005 she won Best Female Modern Country Vocalist from the Connecticut Country Music Association and Best Recording for her original single, "Moments" and in 2006 was recognized as Female Vocalist of the Year by the North American Country Music Association in Nashville, TN. Jansen announced that all proceeds from her song, Bars, Scars, and Old Guitars, will go towards Soles4Souls in an effort to help victims of last months' flood in Nashville. The song is available now on iTunes.
Jansen's song was inspired by peoples "hardships and hard times. It is about surviving through the past and focusing on the future. It is about getting to know who you are by knowing where you've been. It is what makes you a survivor and the person you are today."
Jansen encourages you to "save a soul by walking an extra mile." By giving to Soles4Souls you will be contributing to saving someone's life. Soles4Souls is a Nashville based organization that has given over 10 million pairs of shoes, donating a pair every 9 seconds.
