Today's the day to swing on over to Bandcamp to purchase Hope of The Hour - A Tribute to Portland's Dharma Bums, which includes Chez Stadium's take on Stayed Up Late.
It features 20 covers by Northwest musical artists of songs by our revered local heroes of the 80's/early 90's. This release date coincides with Bandcamp Friday, no less. This means that 100% of the profits will go to The Jeremy Wilson Foundation -Â that's an extra $3 to the cause if you buy one before midnight.
Purchase a physical CD or download TODAY - March 1, 2024 - to support local artists supporting local artists! (*Also available after today.)
About the Chez Stadium track, Stayed Up Late: Guitarist Grant Cumpston takes on lead vocal duties this time, along with Mark L. Wills (drums, vocals), Pete Lampe (bass), and Randall Payton (guitar, banjo, keys). It was recorded over the course of two sessions back in 2022, tracked and mixed at Mark's home studio.
Thanks to Tim and Mick at Goddamned Party Records for making this project happen. Thank you, Dharma Bums - John, Eric, Jimmy, Jeremy - for the songs.
