Benefit Compilation CD for Survivors of Hurricane Katrina

Djam Karet's Gayle Ellett has spearheaded an effort to raise money for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Gayle posed the idea of a compilation album to the co-founders of the popular North East Art Rock Festival (NEARfest), Chad Hutchinson and Robert LaDuca. Hutchinson and LaDuca gladly offered to fund the project and take the reins with regards to coordinating the effort. To date, 17 artists have agreed to donate music to the album. The amazing response has pushed the compilation to become a 2CD set. The progressive rock community both old and new is well represented by the likes of Kansas, Camel, Caravan, Nektar, the newly reformed FM, Happy the Man, Mike Keneally, IQ, Pendragon, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Echolyn, Änglagård, California Guitar Trio, Mostly Autumn, and Cuneiform Records' own Djam Karet and The Muffins.

Produced by Mr. Ellett, the music for the album will primarily consist of unreleased studio and live material, which will make this compilation extra special. All proceeds from the sale of the compilation, entitled "After the Storm," will be donated directly to the relief efforts in the Gulf Coast region of the United States that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina on August 29th. The music for the compilation is currently being collected and artwork is in progress.

The album will be released on NEARfest Records, hopefully before the end of November."
Sounds like a good album for a worthy cause.
