Songs for Shelter features the cream of Seattle songwriters and musicans from the 70's, 80's, 90's and 21st Century--many of them world renowned--coming together in a collection of new music to benefit homeless families in King County, WA. Primarily folksy, the cd ranges from blues to funk, traditional Irish to rock. It features performers including Laura Veirs, Martin Hayes, Laura Love and Danny O'Keefe. Unlike most compilation projects that only recyle album tracks, Songs for Shelter features 10 cuts that have never been released before, including 8 tracks recorded specifically for the project and two songs written expressly for it. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Songs for Shelter will go to support shelter, case management and homelessness prevention programs of Seattle's Fremont Public Association's, a service and advocacy agency that helps 25,000 families each year to overcome poverty and build brighter futuresTechnorati Tag: Music
