In Charlotte, NC, all the musicians and aging hipsters got together
and formed internet radio station
Plaza Midwood Community Radio to fill a void in their market.
Charlotte, NC, despite being a huge city, has no college radio style
station! Their station is non-profit and 100% volunteer run. It relies
on donations from the community to stay afloat! So, they came up with a
fantastic fundraising idea - release a FREE EP of some of their local
bands/musicians once a week for four weeks. At the end of the four
weeks, but the whole thing together into one giant comp that people can
download in exchange for a small donation to the station.
I
know what you are thinking...local musicians? From Charlotte?
Well...don't despair. The comp is actually pretty terrific. In coming
weeks it will feature well known acts like Benji Hughes and the
legendary country/folk musician David Childers.
Here's Week 2 of the Free EPs. It is Free, but if you feel like sending them a dollar or two, it would help them out a lot!
