Music to Help Mainers

BAR HARBOR — Many Maine recording artists are joining the Maine Credit Union League’s Ending Hunger Campaign by lending their talents to “The Amazing Music of Mainers” in hopes of providing one million meals to Maine families from the sales of the album.

Included among the 26 participating artists are: Dan Fogelberg, Don McLean, Noel Paul Stookey, Jonathan Edwards, Tim Sample, Paul Sullivan, Aztec Two Step, Devonsquare, Schooner Fare, Gordon Bok, David Mallett, and Cindy Bullens.

The album is a pet project of Bar Harbor’s Kim Swan.

The two-disc compilation includes a booklet filled with stories of the artists’ backgrounds, their musical histories, and their connection to Maine.

CDs can be purchased at local Maine credit unions, as well as all Bull Moose, Mr. Paperback, Best Buy, Borders and The Swan Agency Sotheby’s International Realty locations. Online purchases can be made at www.mainevillepublishing.com and www.exiles.com.
