Band Together NC, a Triangle-based organization whose mission is to raise funds and awareness for select charities through events that showcase and support musical talent, in partnership with Mended Heart Records (MHR), an Asheville-based recording label, has announced the official release of the “Band Together Compilation for Charity 2011.”
Proceeds will benefit Band Together and its 2011 charity partner, Alliance Medical Ministry. The CD was released as MHR’s first full-length charitable CD on Valentine’s Day, the organization’s one-year anniversary.
“I am touched that Mended Heart Records poured their heart and soul into making this CD, all for the benefit of Band Together and Alliance Medical Ministry,” said Danny Rosin, president and co-founder of Band Together.
The project began almost a year ago when MHR founder Matt Williams played at the 2010 Band Together charity concert with Greensboro’s Holy Ghost Tent Revival. Williams was so moved by the event that he committed to produce a charitable CD in 2011 for Band Together and its charity partner and hopes to make it an annual compilation.
The project is a unique compilation of music, and all tracks were recorded in the MHR studio and are exclusive to this project. The CD is filled with original blends of pop, rock, folk/rock, instrumental soul/jazz and funk, reggae, bluegrass, indie pop, acoustic blues and hip-hop.
