Threadhead Records Holiday CD | threadheadrecords.com
Threadhead Records is doing a Holiday CD
Threadhead Records, the first fan-funded, volunteer-run record company to focus entirely on the music and culture of New Orleans, is in the process of putting together our very own Holiday CD. Due out in November, the CD will be produced by Paul Sanchez and will feature a number of our multi-talented artists including John Boutté, Shamarr Allen, Susan Cowsill & Russ Broussard, Matt Perrine & Debbie Davis, Craig Klein, Alex McMurray, Glen David Andrews, Mary Lasseigne, Margie Perez, Ingrid Lucia and Paul Sanchez performing both original and standard songs of the season.
Just as we ask of all our artists for their own projects, we, too, pledge that 10% of the net proceeds raised from this project will be donated to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic. The other 90% will be split between the Threadhead Records General Fund and the Threadhead Records Foundation. The money raised for the General Fund will be used to pay our minimal overhead, advertising for our artists’ projects and other expenses related to assuring our artists’ success. Foundation monies will be used for future artists’ projects.
If you have a few dollars to spare, please kick into this project. All size contributions are welcome! If you wish to contribute please go to our website:
