Benefit albums of Minneapolis artists released by Tompkins Square – Variety
1 min read
In response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, Tompkins Square Records released “Out Ashes” today, which will benefit two charities in the city, a 16-track compilation album of area artists. The complete lineup will be displayed below.
The benefits of the two-company set-up are Miggy, which aims to “develop Native American youth to express their creativity and dreams,” and its offices were destroyed in a fire late last month. It also benefits the Association for Black Economic Power, which works in partnership with Pimento to provide financial relief to the black business without insurance, which was set on fire during the protests.
The album was compiled by Matt Sowell (with “Little Help” by Tompkins Square).
The album is exclusively available at BandCamp, which is waiving its fees on Friday (June 5), so that all proceeds go to companies in this field.
