In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, 135 artists have contributed to the album Cardinals At The Window to fund relief from the storm in western North Carolina. 100% of proceeds will be split evenly between Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, Rural Organizing and Resilience (ROAR), and BeLoved Asheville.
The compilation was organized by musician Libby Rodenbough, New Commute founder David Walker, and journalist Grayson Haver Currin. “Cardinals at the Window — named for an expression we’ve all heard in Appalachia, meaning that there’s a little luck on the way — is our modest attempt to help the best we can, to do what we might to help restore some small piece of a place so many of us love so much,” says Currin on Bandcamp.
Hear the many unreleased tracks including originals and covers from artists such as Drive-By Truckers, Iron & Wine, the Mountain Goats, Sylvan Esso, Sharon Van Etten, Phish, Angel Olsen, The War on Drugs, Rosali, and many many more by purchasing the album on Bandcamp for $10.
