It's about that time again we're beginning work on the Jeff Hahne's Homebrew Vol. 5 CD and are actively seeking submissions for it.
If you're a band or artist that has release new music in the last year and are based within 30 miles of Charlotte, we'd welcome you to send in a song or two for consideration. It is not known how many bands will be featured on the disc, but I'd guess at least 12-15. The CD will be released this fall.
You can either e-mail an mp3 (we prefer higher quality recordings) or send in a physical copy to:
Jeff Hahne

The CDs are distributed for free at a variety of venues and stores around town in order to expose more people to the music being created in the Queen City. The deadline for submissions is July 31.
If you are interested in sponsoring the CD, you can e-mail Jeff at jeff.hahne@creativeloafing.com
