I’m feeling pretty darn good. In tomorrow’s mail, Spare the Rock Records is:

– Sending the Haitian People’s Support Project another $10,000 from Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti.

– Sending Girls Inc. $8,803 from Science Fair.

– Sending the Woody Guthrie Foundation $2,177.70 from Keep Hoping Machine Running.

By the end of 2013, the label will hit a cumulative total of $100,000 in donations.

Thanks to Dean Jones, Molly Ledford, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Jeff Giles — producers on the albums — and the over 50 amazing artists who have contributed songs.  Huge thanks also to Stephanie Mayers for her remarkable PR work and all the folks at Virtual Label for making it all work.

Visit the label’s page for more information about the releases.
