2 Albums

We're putting together 2 charity albums for our new non-profit that helps girls around the world get into school (MillionGirlArmy.org | GirlsInSchool.org). One is an all-female album, one is a Christmas album, both are described in detail bellow. They are to raise money for kids, but not children's albums.

We're looking for musicians to donate COVERS of either music that HFA deals with (most music: http://www.harryfox.com/songfile/public/publicsearch.jsp), or music that's in the public domain.

We'll be putting both albums up on iTunes and marketing them ourselves. We will be printing physical CDs as well.

Everyone who gets a song on an album will get one physical copy of the CD, and we're willing to pay 10 cents per album sold. We're shooting to move 1,000 albums, so that would (for example), add up to $100. Or you can completely donate your song to us :)

If you want to dive in:
1. Make sure your cover song is handled by HFA (http://www.harryfox.com/songfile/public/publicsearch.jsp). Most songs are, but not all.
2. Email me (TuckerLFitzGerald@Gmail.com) to make sure no one else is covering it.
3. Record your song.
4. Email it to me for review.

On one hand, songs don't need grammy-quality sound engineering, but on the other hand, they need to be recorded reasonably well. We're fine with lo-fi (ie Mountain Goats) if that's your goal, just don't arrive there by accident.
