CHECK OUT: HBO Takes a Chance on Hambone Jennie

*My friend Jenn recently licensed her song, "Soldier Song" to HBO for a promotional video for their latest film, TAKING CHANCE.
This video is a tribute to the real soldier, Chance Phelps, who the movie is based on.
It's an incredible song and perfectly featured in this video.
