Jason McCoy And Kyle McKearney Team Up For Rendition Of ‘Hunger Strike’ To Benefit Food Banks Canada
etcanada.comCanadian country singers Jason McCoy and Kyle McKearney are teaming up for a good cause. The duo joined forces for a new take on Temple of the Dog’s 1991 hit “Hunger Strike” to coincide with their campaign to help families and raise money for Food Banks Canada.
Premiering the music video with ET Canada, the duo is seen singing the heartfelt track in a recording studio, where they sing: “I don’t mind stealin’ bread from the mouths of decadents.
But I can’t feed on the powerless when my cup’s already overfilled.” McKearney tells ET Canada of the collaboration: “The idea of re-working ‘Hunger Strike’ with Jason McCoy came as I was drifting through memories of my youth, listening and singing along with Chris Cornell.
I knew that Jason would be the perfect country-style Eddie Vedder to my Americana-style Cornell. Jason and I are both family oriented artists and the opportunity to help families in need is one that we’re both very passionate and excited about.” READ MORE: New Dates Announced For Keith Urban Shows In Las Vegas With the ongoing global pandemic, the level of growth at Canadian Food Banks is like never before, with a 20 per cent increase since 2019.
