FEATURING: Damien Jurado w/ Seattle Rock Orchestra, Star Anna, Grand Hallway, Mark Pickerel, Goldfinch, Tony Kevin Jr.

*Rosie Thomas, *Hey Marseilles, many more to come...

NOTE: Any funds raised over the goal will help us be able to produce VINYL! That stuff ain't cheap. Thanks for helping us spread the word!

Hi everyone, we've been waiting for the time to arrive when we had enough amazing performances (and resources) to produce one heck of a compilation album... and here it is!

THE ROUND's FIRST EVER COMPILATION ALBUM! Funds collected for this project will go towards producing and releasing the album for both digital download and actual CD or Vinyl (mixing & mastering the music, creating the artwork, the packaging and getting permissions).

THE SONGS | We plan on taking some of the best live recordings from the always unique & collaborative ROUND performances over the years, and making them available to everyone!  Many songs are completely unique recordings with rare (and sometimes improvised) instrumentation.  Some even feature the Seattle Rock Orchestra as well.  You'll probably even quite literally hear yourself singing along in one of the songs.  We can't absolutely guarantee who will make the cut, but we do promise it'll sound great!

*Most likely will make it on the album, pending song approval, etc.

PAY IT FORWARD | Once we have CD's created, ALL funds made from sales will go half to producing future ROUNDS and half to Youth Arts Education at Fremont Abbey Arts Center. The Abbey is a nonprofit 501c3 non-religious organization who's mission is to support people of all ages & incomes in their artistic and social development.

Other artists that may end up on the CD include:

David Bazan, Jesse Sykes, Damien Jurado, Ken Stringfellow (The Posies), Mark Pickerel (Screaming Trees), Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), Rosie Thomas, John Van Duesen (The Lonely Forest), Matt Bishop (Hey Marseilles), Kay Kay & His Weathered Underground Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger), Benjamin Verdoes (Mt St. Helens Vietnam Band), The Globes, J.
