Discovered a press release this morning about Live From Nowhere Near You, a locally produced CD to benefit Outside In.

Kevin Moyer went into his attic studio alone with an idea and emerged with an emotionally vibrant compilation full of life and found sounds. By collaborating street musicians with friends and music professionals, he tells a story of life on the streets and the roads leading to and from there. With thick layers of raw and polished instrumentation, the music hits like waves of emotion eddying between the warmth of a large wool blanket and the cold of a concrete pillow. Highlights include: director Gus Van Sant on guitar and vocals, Pearl Jam guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard, Cole Peterson of Sweet Water, Chris Friel of the Rockfords, Brad Hargreaves of Third Eye Blind, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the USA, Spoon, David Andrews of Colobo, The Robots, Bad Boy Blue, Pete Miser with drummer Mel Brown, Five Fingers of Funk, Mic Crenshaw and Hungry Mob, Kissing Book, STARS, Scott Fisher, Greg Snell, and many more! The profits from the sale of this CD will go to help the homeless and street youth programs of OUTSIDE-IN. (Source: Burnside Distribution)

I called Music Millennium immediately to reserve a copy. Release date is August 19th.
What an incredibly cool project! An organization like Outside In that can claim 80% of youth who go through their transitional housing program never return to the streets is definitely worth supporting.
