Valley Rising Compilation Album Vol. III
Are you a musician in the Pioneer Valley? Think your sound deserves to put on the national map? Well we at The Collective truly believe Western MA is a breeding ground for amazing talent right now, and we want to get you heard. We're also huge proponents of fan sharing, co-writing, cross marketing, and overall artist collaboration. We believe the Valley Rising Compilation Album is a perfect platform for the best local musicians to come together and do all of these things.
10 independent artists will be selected by a panel of judges across the music industry (radio, press, management, booking, etc...), and will be featured on this compilation album to be distributed for free to thousands of music fans throughout western MA, and to members of the music industry in LA, Nashville, and NYC. The album will be released on Sunday Sept 28th at The Iron Horse Music Hall, and all artists will be present to rock the house and share fans! The profits earned from the album sales and the release concert will be donated to the Northampton Community Music Center, an amazing non-profit where many local musicians get their start!
