| JAKE & LUNCH AT ALLEN'S |
|
On January 7, 2017, Jake Thomas was severely injured in a catastrophic accident, leaving him a paraplegic. Jake is Ian's son, a father of four and a filmmaker. Due to his expertise in the integration of film and music, Jake was the obvious choice to direct and edit the debut Lunch At Allen's Live DVD for EMI Music Canada and, needless to say, he knocked it out of the park! Of course Jake was then asked to do the same with two additional Lunch At Allen's videos ... Perfect World and What Kind Of Love. After decades of friendship and fourteen years of criss-crossing the country on concert tours together, there is no question that a love for one another runs deep in the Lunch At Allen's group. Within days of the accident, Murray, Marc and Cindy were talking about what they could do to help Jake and family with the financial challenges that lay ahead ... and so began the idea for these concerts. Jake is not only a creative colleague, but a son to us all. He is one of ours. |
