About this project

Weathervane Music needs to raise a little money to cover some remaining expenses for the year. The money we need to raise right away will go to:
1. Paying for 501c3 filing fees with the IRS - That's the final step to solidify our status as a non-profit organization, which will allow us to fully pursue our Mission.
2. Planning and Producing our November 12, 2009 Fundraiser at Johnny Brendas in Philadelphia, featuring all the above bands - If you are anywhere within 150 miles of this show, DON'T MISS IT! It's going to be an amazing night!
3. Preparing for 2010 Project Series (which is already looking like it's going to be AWESOME!...stay tuned.)
Weathervane is a new idea. Please see the Bio (to the RIGHT) to understand what Weathervane is, what we are doing and why! You can also read about us at our website: http://weathervanemusic.org/about.
Weathervane Music is a project of POSITIVESPACE, a registered 501c3 Non-Profit organization from Philadelphia. All donations are tax deductible to fullest extent of the law.

Connected as Brian D. McTear (1514 friends)

Weathervane Music was founded in 2009 by Philadlephia musician and record producer Brian McTear to fill a widening gap in music left by disappearing revenue streams in a failing music industry. The goal of all Weathervane projects is to provide professional level experience and career opportunity for deserving artists, while promoting a clear understanding of the necessary role that audiences must play in the creation of music. A quality foundation for tomorrow’s music economy can only come from a healthy music ecosystem today.

Weathervane produces its flagship project, Shaking Through, with WXPN radio in Philadelphia and is a project of PositiveSpace, a Fishtown-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to create a network of local artists to exchange creative ideas and to promote new opportunities for emerging and established artists in the community. All donations made to Weathervane Music are through PositiveSpace, and as such are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
