Musicians: GrowthBusters Earth Day Fundraiser Soundtrack Needs You

Many musicians, upon hearing about the GrowthBusters film, have offered their music and talents to the project. So I’ve decided a neat way to honor them is to release a special soundtrack album of music inspired by or inspiring the film. If you’ve recorded a song relevant to sustainability, consumption, sufficiency, simplicity, overpopulation or urban growth, and you’d like to contribute it to the album, please let me know.

GrowthBusters-Soundtrack-Album-Cover-2

We hope to have the album available for digital download or CD purchase shortly before Earth Day in April. Proceeds will help fund completion of the documentary, thus honoring the intent of the musicians wanting to use their artistry to help us in our mission. So send us yours. Who knows, maybe we’ll want to include your song in the film! If we select your song, we’ll do our best to get your music heard and appreciated, including a brief bio and a link to your music site.

We have an amazing opening title song for the film, which will be the album’s title song. We’re in discussions with Pete Seeger about possibly including one of his songs. And we have a few other surprises I think will delight you.

If you have friends with great music that fits, please let them know about this. If you’d like to be on the album, contact me with details and a link or an MP3.

    For inspiration, my readers and I started collecting some of our favourites here last year:

    Here is a Youtube link to a song I performed last year at Wheatland Music Festival in Remus MI, which, despite the modest audio quality, may be on topic. I am currently scheduled to head into the studio to record this material in early April, so if you find the song – or the other one I performed at Wheatland – to be a good fit for you, just let me know. I should have a proper studio version done and available within the next few weeks.

    Thanks for your consideration.

    Thanks, Shaun and Jeff! Some amazing material mentioned in your blog post and the comments, Shaun. Really awesom video of Chris Rea.

    Jeff, I really appreciate the interest in participating in our album project, but it sounds like the schedule may not work. I’m uncertain of our drop-dead deadline, but I expect it to be April 6 at the very latest, maybe earlier. Don’t want to rush you. Keep me posted, though.
