Songs For Shelter, Seattle Musicians Helping Homeless Families, released 2005
Various Artists
Songs for Shelter showcases the cream of Seattle songwriters and musicians from the past 30 years (from Danny O'Keefe to Laura Veirs, Wayne Horvitz to Laura Love, Jim Page to Reggie Garrett) in a collection of mostly NEW RECORDINGS.
Primarily folksy, the cd ranges from blues to funk, traditional Irish to rock. It features new compositions, reworkings of old favorites and recent releases stitched together by the performers' commitment to providing something special to support efforts to end poverty in our community. Proceeds from Songs for Shelter will go to support shelter, case management and homelessness prevention programs of the Fremont Public Association, a service and advocacy agency that helps 25,000 families each year to overcome poverty and build brighter futures. Beyond raising money to support direct services, Songs for Shelter provides an opportunity to raise awareness and motivate people to get involved.
