Hawke's Bay's compilation vinyl album is back for a second year.
Hawke's Bay's compilation vinyl album is back.
Last year's album "Under the Sun" was such a massive hit that they are bringing it back for local artists to have a chance at featuring on Volume 2.
With an expected 10 songs on the album, it is a perfect way to reflect the diversity of new and established musicians producing music in Hawke’s Bay.
The Backline Charitable Trust initiated the project to produce a Hawke’s Bay Compilation Vinyl Record.
Applicants are invited to submit one song, after which the judging panel will review the entries and make a selection.
Their judging panel this year will include Devin Abrams (Producer, ex Shapeshifter), Lorraine Barry (Manager of Tom Scott, Dave Dobbyn) and Laughton Kora (from the band Kora).
The selected tracks will be mastered at Munki Studios in Wellington and then released in February 2023. A limited number (300) of physical copies of the compilation will be produced and given away to market our Hawke’s Bay artists – all artists will receive a physical copy of the record.
It is required that each artist will release their track digitally or prior to or alongside the compilation release. This will allow The Backline Charitable Trust to create a shareable playlist which can then be shared through various online channels.
Artists have until 13 June to submit their song.
