OUT TODAY! DEAR NEW ORLEANS DIGITAL BENEFIT COMPILATION

It feels really good to say it and sell it! The response to Dear New Orleans has been overwhelming and wonderful. The album has garnered much press and coverage. On Monday, Amazon offered the 31 track album as its daily deal and the compilation quickly reached #1 of Amazon’s most purchased Mp3’s and remained in that position until just yesterday evening.

Dear New Orleans is available for purchase from all of the major on-line music outlets: iTunes, Amazon, emusic and Rhapsody. But of course, we prefer it if everyone purchased it from our own TopSpin store on www.dearno.la so ATC can raise more funds for New Orleans and you get 3 bonus tracks and stream the full album before purchasing.

MY MORNING JACKET + ATC: PHILANTHROPY, OUR ALBUM + NEW ORLEANS

ATC has been working with My Morning Jacket on a range of philanthropic efforts over the years. Jim James and Patrick Hallahan both participated in our New Orleans artist activism retreats and, along with their band, have gone on to do incredible philanthropy and activism work that is making a real impact for the issues they care about. We love this interview where they talk about how we collaborate, their time in New Orleans and our upcoming album, Dear New Orleans.
