Washington DC based JPE Music announces the release of the single "Heal The Land"  This endearing and poignant ballad of comfort and healing has been written and dedicated to the families who lost their children and loved ones during the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings in Newtown Connecticut."Heal The Land" gently soothes the heart as its lyrics express the perplexity our nation has felt since this tragedy and the cry for healing and peace in our land. The song features the harmonious voices of Dave Hammond (brother to Gospel Legend Fred Hammond) and Jeremiah Hicks ("Kings Men Tour" background vocalist). Initially written as a healing tool, the song quickly took on a much greater purpose as God laid it on the Jaye's heart to donate all the proceeds from the sale of this single to the My Sandy Hook Family Fund .
