It has been 84 years since Vermont has seen damage like the damage brought by tropical storm Irene. It washed away many homes, knocked out 30 bridges including historic covered bridges, and destroyed 250 roads leaving people stranded. The VT State Offices employing 2,000 people came to a screaming halt. The VT State Hospital had to quickly farm out its patients to already crowded facilities. Two people died with another missing. And the list goes on. Vermont is slowly rebuilding with the help of national aid and projects by Vermont musicians.

The Vermont Relief CD compilation is one small way to help the cause. Local stores are selling the CD without taking a percentage. CDBaby.com is taking half the cost of what they typically take for distribution. A national music magazine is printing an ad for free. Bluebird Promotions/Malletts Bay Records are only taking the cost of manufacturing. The profits are being sent to the Vermont Red Cross. Please help spread the word.

ARTIST MINI BIOS FOR COMPILATION—2011
The “link” page will take you to each artist’s Website or Myspace page.

Not every artist can say they opened for BB King or shared the stage with Phish at age 16. But Seth Yacovone (rhymes with macaroni) can! Since those days, Seth has released a double-album entitled, Land of Split Decision, and gigs around the Northeast. Measured Mile (1), a Roots Rock tune, is the first track from that double CD and a great way to begin this CD.

Erin McDermott released Time To Go just a few months ago. It boasts a few Nashville heavy-hitters and Grammy award winners including Tim O’Brien. Time To Go (2) is the title track. She calls her genre FolkAss (a mix of folk and bluegrass).

Patrick Fitzsimmons barely escaped cancer, but is now in remission and working on his next release. The Waiting Place (3) was written for his last album, So Beautiful So Blue-a folk album that was recorded while undergoing cancer treatment. Patrick is a former member of the group From Good Homes (RCA).

Havoc (4) from Opaque EP was not written about Irene, but is aptly titled for this project. Award-winning alternative-folk/pop singer/songwriter Gregory Douglass states that the song is about the demon inside of us all. He also donated one of the bonus holiday tracks-What A Long Year It Was (15) from is holiday EP, Merry.

Amber deLaurentis started her career in Philadelphia as part of a European tour sponsored by Steve Madden shoes. She now resides in Vermont where she not only continues her singer/songwriter career, but also teaches vocal jazz at the University of Vermont. Her donated songs, Cryin’ Kind (5) is from her last release, Hey Sadie, an alt-country CD, as well as a song for the holidays, 2010 single-All Year Long (17).

Work It Out (6) from the new trio, Hotels & Highways, is from their 2011 debut album Lost River. It features singer/songwriters Patrick Thomas-who also donated a holiday track-Giving My Christmas (18)-Lisa Piccirillo, and Erin (Syd) Sidney, all of whom have their own solo careers. They are now on tour with a recent stop at the AMA conference in Nashville.

Bow Thayer donated Good Time To Holler (7) from his 2010 critically acclaimed album, Bottom of the Sky. The record faired well on the Americana and Non-Comm Triple-A radio charts. Bow is the muscle behind the annual Tweed River Music Festival.

Edie Carey was born in Vermont, grew up in Boston, spent time in Maine, and now resides in Chicago. She states that she has always felt a strong connection to Vermont and wrote Come Inside (8) in hopes of comforting someone. The song comes from her 2011 release Bring The Sea featuring Shawn Mullins.
Justin Levinson received his degree at Berklee College of Music in Boston and has since released two studio albums. Home (9), is from his debut release, Bury Your Love (Folk/Alt-Country). Justin is presently touring in support of his second release, “Predetermined Fate”.

Casey Lynn Dubie stepped into a recording studio in 2010 three days after her high school graduation and recorded a 4-song folk/pop EP. The title track, In Your Atmosphere (10), was donated for this project and has been picked up by Nashville song-pluggers and licensing agencies. Casey states her biggest musical influence has been John Mayer.

Pictures (11) comes from Lowell Thompsons second release, Lowell Thompson & Crown Pilot (Alt-Country) and had a shout-out by Rolling Stone magazine. He has since opened for fellow Vermonter Grace Potter and now floats between Austin, TX and Vermont.

Patti Casey is no stranger to the folk world. She has released several albums throughout her career and most recently has teamed up with the folk group Woods Tea Company. We selected Spread Joy Over This Land (12) from her recent and critically acclaimed record The Heart of a Waiting Boy.

Aaron Flinn, another graduate of Berklee, is a multi-instrumentalist and has an extensive discography. Beyond his own career, he has stepped in to play guitar for many Vermont-based groups. Aaron is releasing a new record this month entitled, Miss Ready Blossom and the Seed of Dreams. We selected his new song Singing (13) for this compilation.

Scott Forrest knows first hand the havoc raised by Irene. His town, Rochester, VT was one of the towns hit the hardest. He hasn’t had much time for music lately as he has had a shovel in his hands. Tick Tock (14) comes from When I’m In Paris. Scott won a Valentine song contest in 2009 sponsored by Garrison Keillor’s Prarie Home Companion. The winning song was O’s & X’s Rachel.

December In Vermont (16), the title track from that album, is a beautiful folk ballad by veteran singer/songwriter Diane Zeigler. It describes the beauty of winter in Vermont and the warmth of family and friends. She is presently on hiatus raising her young family.

Last but not least, Patrick Thomas (Hotels & Highways) donated the single Giving My Christmas (18). It’s a beautiful way to end this compilation. We hope you enjoy VERMONT and help spread the word.]]> http://bluebirdpromotions.com/news.html#41 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Bluebird Music Promotions For Independent Artists - Bluebird Music Promotions, LLC - News http://bluebirdpromotions.com/news.html#40 http://bluebirdpromotions.com/news.html#40 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Bluebird Music Promotions For Independent Artists - Bluebird Music Promotions, LLC - News http://bluebirdpromotions.com/news.html#39
