]]> The fine people at PEPSI are giving away $1.3 Million of grant money to people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact. The Des Moines Music Coalition submitted 80/35 and it was accepted! So now it is up to us to VOTE. Here is the project overview so you can be fully informed.

Project Overview:

80/35 is an annual music festival produced by the non-profit Greater Des Moines Music Coalition and coordinated by over 350 local volunteers. Occurring on the 4th of July weekend, the event brings the best local, regional, and national progressive artists together for one weekend of top-rated entertainment. In addition to the paid festival stage, the event features a large free area featuring local and regional bands, a family and children’s area including a children’s music stage and interactive activities, a green living zone highlighting eco-friendly initiatives, and an area to showcase non-profit organizations and community services. 80/35 also highlights other artistic endeavors including a world renowned sculpture park, live theater and performing art, and an installation by local visual artists. In its third year, 80/35 has become “the” summer event for Midwestern music lovers.

This year I was able to volunteer, which was a ton of fun! Canby and Cashes Rivers were selected to play the KUM & GO stage and friends/family were able to enjoy the free stages, great local, regional and national acts. What I love the most was the organization of this festival…free water bottles and cold water for all! I am so glad to have this festival in my hometown. Please take a few moments to vote for this GREAT IDEA. Let’s keep 80/35 going strong!

]]> The Des Moines Music Coalition has done SO much for the music scene in the last few years. I am personally very thankful for what they have done not only for local music but for bringing national acts in as well via 80/35 and other festivals. So it was with great honor that Cashes Rivers and Aqui Estamos Records accepted the offer to help out with their commercial. If you are not a member JOIN! It is well worth the $25 bucks. Help continue to grow DSM music scene, its a WIN – WIN for everyone!

]]> May is proving to be a great month! First off:

Aqui Estamos Records will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary, May 27th. This fledging label has been working non-stop the last year and what a fun roller coaster it has been. We have managed to sign two wonderful artists (Cashes Rivers and Canby) hold our first label showcase (Landing Party in February) release a split 7in and May 10th release Canby’s first full length CD – RAT all before learning our A B C’s!

To celebrate this past year we are offering FREE SHIPPING in the month of May for all online orders.

Second:

Did I mention Canby’s NEW album will be released May 10th? If you have not picked up your copy at last nights CD release party have no fear! You can pre-order your copy now and have it delivered to you on May 10th. How sweet is that!?

Cashes Rivers’ fan we have some updates for you too. 2010 WILL see the full length released. It has been confirmed that the album is done! It will be traveling with Cashes and Brandon Darner later this month to Omaha for some mastering, then off to press. EXCITING! As fun and exciting as 2009 was, we have some really great things happening in 2010. Thanks for all your support so far. We are very thankful and can’t express it enough. We love music and want to share it with everyone, without your support this last year would not have been possible.

XOXO
