Pro audio equipment manufacturer, Electro-Voice, and parent company, Robert Bosch North America LLC, have organized and released a 3-CD compilation of national artists to benefit Minnesota Helps bridge disaster relief effort. Exclusive studio and live tracks comprise the lineup of the now available 3-CD benefit compilation – Musicians for Minneapolis: 57 Songs for the I-35W Bridge Disaster Relief Effort. One hundred percent of proceeds raised through the sale of the CD will be donated to the Minnesota Helps: Bridge Disaster Fund.
The compilation features both released and unreleased tracks from Los Lobos, Dick Dale, Steve Vai, DJ Spooky, Howe Gelb, Sparklehorse, Calexico, Les Claypool, Joey DeFrancesco, Jim Lauderdale, Joe Bonamassa, George Clinton, Lee Scratch Perry, and many more.
The benefit originates from Electro-Voice’s historic and current artist endorsement program and the global philanthropic efforts of its parent company, Robert Bosch North America LLC, a division of Bosch.
Tom Hansen, Bosch Communications Systems vice president, Americas, remarks: “In keeping with the Bosch tradition of philanthropy, we decided to turn this well-meaning concern into charitable action, inviting friends of Electro-Voice from across all musical genres to participate in a benefit CD Project: Musicians for Minneapolis: 57 Songs for the I-35W Bridge Disaster Relief Effort. We’ve also partnered with major music retailers and hope to make a significant financial contribution to the relief fund. Electro-Voice (EV) has been a part of America’s musical community for 80 years, so it’s great to see such a wide range of artists join forces to support EV’s local community in a time of need.”
