Artist Quote: “Legend” is a celebration of the life of Jared Pelletier, my childhood best friend who tragically died of cancer at 29 years old. This song is written as a future message to his 2 year old daughter highlighting her father’s greatness and how she can remain connected to his spirit as she gets older. What started as songwriting to cope with my grief turned into the creation of the Jared Pelletier Memorial Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization aimed to uplift Maine’s athletic youth. Jared, a life-long athlete, was incredibly passionate about ice hockey which is a major theme in this song and music video. The music video highlights some notable moments from JP Memorial Foundation’s 1st Annual Hockey & Free Skate Event, along with a collection of home movies of Jared’s most cherished childhood memories. The foundation has received over $14K USD in donations in just 6 months of its formation.
