Local musician donates song proceeds to Methodist Family Health

LITTLE ROCK – Jason Lee Hale and The Personal Space Invaders, a band made up of musicians from throughout Arkansas, are donating the proceeds of the download of their original song, This is the Time to Shine, to Methodist Family through Friday, Dec. 31.

The song was written for Methodist Family Health’s new SHINE campaign in which the nonprofit encourages Arkansans to share their light with their communities so all may benefit. 

“I did not know a lot about Methodist Family Health when they approached me about writing a song for them,” said Hale, who is originally from England, Arkansas, and now resides in North Little Rock. “When I learned they are more than 120 years old and work with this state’s children and their families who are struggling with abandonment, abuse and neglect or dealing with psychiatric, behavioral, emotional and spiritual issues, I was inspired to write this song. After talking with my bandmates, we decided to donate all of the proceeds from the song’s downloads until the end of the year.” 

To watch the video for This is the Time to Shine, visit Methodist Family Health’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/watch?v=1-UL0v1RBRU. To download the song, visit any music streaming service like Amazon Music, Spotify, iTunes, etc. and search for Jason Lee Hale and The Personal Space Invaders.
