JOHN CHAFFEE A.K.A. ‘UNCLE SAM’

WINS ‘BEST COUNTRY SONG’ AT THE

HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA AWARDS

***

The Cleveland-based Singer-Songwriter Was

Awarded For His Politically Charged Song

‘Play By The Rules’

Fresh off an appearance on FOX News’ Strategy Room, Cleveland-based singer-songwriter John Chaffee, a.k.a. “Uncle Sam,” was honored with the Best Country Song award for his politically charged anthem “Play By The Rules” at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards on November 19 at The Highlands in the world famous Hollywood & Highland/Kodak Theater complex.

Chaffee was presented the award by Nevada Entertainer of the Year and master musical impressionist Greg London, who was also a winner that night for Best Adult Contemporary Song for his hit single “Everything I Own.”

The “Play By The Rules” song and video concept grew out of his growing anger over a daily dose of stories of corruption and scandal, not only in our nation’s capital but also in communities across the country.

The colorful and irresistible video features Chaffee, a dead ringer for “Uncle Sam,” in red, white and blue garb singing as he walks through colorful but decadent urban landscapes including junkyards that work perfectly as a metaphorical backdrop for his pointed plea of a chorus: “Cut me in, bail me out, failure’s not my fault/Responsibility, what’s that, just a word that’s all/I’m trying very hard, to chill and keep my cool/I’m trying hard to find someone, who’ll just play by the rules/Is there anybody out there, who’ll just play by the rules.”
