Searching For Country Bands to Join the Fight Against Drunk Driving

The Pick Up A 12 Pack Of Life digital CD project is currently looking for Maine country bands who are interested in making a difference while promoting themselves across the country.

National Campaign Spokesperson for this first of its kind project is singer/songwriter Jayna Lininger. The Pittsburgh native has been gaining popularity across the country and is looking to use her music to help promote a cause near to her heart. “This campaign has given me the opportunity to use my music as a powerful tool in raising drunk driving awareness.” says Lininger.

Jayna is teaming up with Pick Up A 12 Pack Of Life to put together a series of compilation albums featuring some of the best homegrown country/pop music Maine and eleven other states have to offer. The campaign provides bands with free exposure by featuring them on one of twelve digital compilation CDs geared towards raising drunk driving awareness.

Beyond stopping drunk driving accidents, Jayna’s mission is to provide a way for local country artists to use
their time and their talent to help raise drunk driving awareness.

The Pick Up A 12 Pack Of Life project has been featured in countless newspapers and magazines from around the northeast. Since its inception, the project has picked up an enormous amount of speed and publicity that has brought many of these independent artists to the front page.

Jayna was recently featured on Fox/ABC Bangor along with Meghan Clark a fourteen-year-old Singer/Songwriter from Calais Maine. “It was great meeting Meghan and her family. This project will feature the work of dozens of up and coming bands from across the northeast. If we all band together I feel we can really make a difference” says Lininger.

12 Pack project coordinator Laura Kelly says, “A truly great role model for young people across the country, Jayna leads the pack in drunk driving prevention.”

Many of the artists signed on to the project have already begun gaining wide spread exposure.

Some of the Newspapers that have helped bring this project to where it is now include:

Journal Tribune- ME

Encore Sun Journal- ME

Saugerties Post Star- NY

The Valley Breeze- RI

VT Digger- VT

Sentinel- NJ

The project has created a crowdfunding campaign in each of the twelve markets it will release a CD. To donate to the campaign and help stop teenage drunk driving in your area visitwww.maine12packoflife.com
