Their latest release will support the CAMMO songwriting camps for active and veteran service men and women, helping to make them free for all interested.
“Come Home” was written by Voices of Service for PGA of America to use as an inspirational theme song in the PGA HOPE program (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere). The song has been featured in public service announcements aired during 103rd PGA Championship in May and will appear during telecasts of the upcoming 43rd Ryder Cup on NBC and Golf Channel.
The inspiration for the song came from a phone call with Green’s son, who is on active duty. During the call, one phrase dominated the conversation: “come home.”
Fans of Kelly Clarkson or Keith Urban should expand their palette with the soulful music of Voices of Service.
