“Songs For Charlie - Volume 1” was inspired by the loss of Charlie Ternan, a dear friend of LA-born singer and songwriter Jack Symes. Charlie passed away from an accidental fentanyl poisoning in May 2020. Thinking he was buying a Percocet from a dealer on Snapchat, Charlie was actually sold a counterfeit pill made of fentanyl. Charlie was just one of several who died in Santa Clara County that weekend from the same cause, and is one of thousands who have died from fentanyl poisoning in the United States in this last year alone.
Charlie’s parents, Ed and Mary Ternan, started the 501c3 non-profit Song for Charlie soon after with the mission to raise awareness about the emerging dangers of self-medication and casual drug use in the fentanyl era. They also work with kids and schools to raise awareness and encourage healthier strategies for coping with stress.
Benefitting the organization, Jack Symes has curated a group of 9 artists and friends to contribute covers of Charlie’s favorite songs for this album covers album "Songs For Charlie - Volume 1".
The album consists of 9 covers and the final track is one original song by Jack Symes titled “Song For Charlie”. The song was written on the day of Charlie’s passing on May 14, 2020 and inspired the name of the non-profit.
