Partial proceeds will go to Sweet Relief❤️  Since March 2020, Bandcamp, the music selling platform for musicians and record labels, has graciously waived their revenue share from the sales of music to help support artists on their platform. According to Bandcamp, over the course of those 26 days, fans have paid artists and labels more than $91 million USD. If you’re among the nearly 1.5 million fans who have participated, thank you. If you want to double your impact, we've listed the artists and labels that are supporting Sweet Relief Musicians Fund with their proceeds of Bandcamp sales! We're so grateful to those that make our work possible. Even though the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be closer and closer, we're still a long ways away from seeing the music industry get back to what it was.
