More Than Music.

There is a musician out there that is working hard to promote change. If you haven’t heard of Jimmy Wayne, well now is the best time to start listening. A country singer out of the Valory Music Company label, he has been making headlines since January for all the right reasons. Sure, he has released a few albums and has gone on tour but that isn’t the most impressive part. He recently just completed a 1700 mile walk to raise awareness on problems faced by homeless youth.

A snippet from the his website:

Jimmy Wayne survived a turbulent, abusive childhood. He was shuttled to a series of foster homes. He was a homeless teen, living by his wits on the street until a North Carolina couple named Russell and Beatrice Costner took him in and gave him a family. Before Russell and Bea, Jimmy was homeless and close to hopeless. He remembers the feeling of being without a family, without a home. He began Project Meet Me Halfway to raise awareness of the fact that too many youth – especially those that are aging out of the foster care system – are facing circumstances similar to those he faced.

We encourage you to visit the website for his cause (http://meetmehalfway.jimmywayne.com). Quite frankly, we’ve never seen a musician so devoted and determined to raise awareness. For all of us, we have to tip our hat to Mr. Wayne for his efforts. And though we’ve never met him, we’re proud of him. It takes a real man to take this journey head on. Although we haven’t been glued to his reporting, we did sit in a few times when he was live streaming and you can’t forget the notion that he is a very proactive twitter user. His twitter usage is pretty refreshing to us.

Here at Midnight Comes Once, we will always support Jimmy Wayne and his causes. Take note – this is what musicians should be like. Congratulations Jimmy on the completion on your walk. We can’t wait to see what is next. We ask you to please support his efforts.
