CREATIVE LOAFING – CHARLOTTE RELEASES FIRST “HOMEBREW” COMPILATION CD

Charlotte’s Creative Loafing has released the first edition of a new CD series entitled, Creative Loafing presents Jeff Hahne’s Homebrew.

The 12-track CD, the Winter Harvest 2008 edition, is a collection of independently released music from the Charlotte area. Featuring a bit of everything from hip-hop to Americana, blues to alternative rock, the artists who are featured released music in the second half of 2007. Future editions are planned for seasonal releases.

Submissions were sent to music editor Jeff Hahne via e-mail, the U.S. postal service and MySpace. Approximately 40 entries were received and then narrowed down through various criteria to ensure a diverse collection would be presented.

The CD was mastered by Rob Tavaglione for Catalyst Recording in Charlotte, N.C.

The CD will be distributed at local music stores, at local concerts and at a CD release party to be held on Monday, Feb. 18 at The Evening Muse. The first edition will be limited.
