San Francisco record label Tompkins Square is releasing a compilation album benefitting Groceries for Seniors on Bandcamp this Friday (May 1). The 15-track album will feature exclusive music from Luther Dickinson, Nathan Salsburg, Gwenifer Raymond, Duck Baker and more. Find the LP artwork and tracklist below.
Groceries for Seniors is a San Francisco organization that provides outreach to local seniors, and is continuing to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In March, Bandcamp held a COVID-19 fundraising effort that saw the music platform forego all revenue generated by music sales for 24 hours in an effort to “put much needed money directly into artists’ pockets.” Bandcamp recently announced that it will waive its revenue shares for three Fridays in upcoming months: May 1, June 5, and July 3. The March effort generated $4.3 million of proceeds, all of which went to artists and labels (it also marked the biggest sales day in Bandcamp’s history).
