THE ARTISTSTO LEARN MORE ABOUT AN ARTISTROLL OVER THEIR NAME
ARTIST: G. LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE TRACK: LONG WAY DOWN (MIX G) "I'm very happy to be associated with 1% for the Planet. I've been so blessed to make a living through making music and anytime my music can help an organization like 1% for the Planet help the earth, the environment and the people that live on it, then it's a good day."
ARTIST: KATIE HERZIG TRACK: SADIE'S SONG "Taking care of our planet — now more than ever — is something that we have to not just care about, but DO something about. Raise your voices, give your money, give your time, educate yourself.... we owe it to each other, to our kids, to OUR planet."
ARTIST: ROSIE THOMAS TRACK: MUCH FARTHER TO GO (LIVE) "Living in Seattle, and getting to travel around the world has allowed me to see just how beautiful and perfectly put together this planet of ours truly is and it's very important to me to help keep it that way."
ARTIST: SAMBATEKES TRACK: CHANTAO "We should love the planet as we love ourselves. Our mother. It's a privilege to be able to support such a great cause, to get the word out from any part of the world."
ARTIST: GARETT BRENNAN AND THE GREAT SALT LICKS TRACK: ALL THOSE TIMES
ARTIST: WINTERPILLS TRACK: HANDKERCHIEFS "It's tricky to navigate being touring musicians and environmentalists, as we negatively impact this planet by the countless miles we drive and the CDs that we manufacture. Being part of this digital- only release is one way to offset that and to thank 1% and the businesses that are part of it for their vision and mission of creating a healthier place for all of us."
ARTIST: SLOW RUNNER TRACK: TRYING TO PUT YOUR HEART BACK TOGETHER "Slacker musicians aren't in as good a position to help out the planet as, say, a really smart scientist. But I'm pretty sure a compilation of songs by really smart scientists would suck, so we're doing what we can to help out and hoping everybody else does the same."
ARTIST: ALEXA WILKINSON TRACK: GREY SKIES "As hard as we may try everyday to conserve, recycle and leave as little of ourselves as possible on this planet, what can be easier than giving away a song to help! This compilation is full of incredible artists, whom I'm sure want to help this planet as much as we all do. Very cool to be a part of this."
ARTIST: CHRIS VELAN TRACK: SANDPAPER SHOES "I grapple with a deep fear that we as a species will only tragically recognize our arrogance in how we destroyed this planet's ability to sustain us only once it is too late. A song is just a song - It's not going to change the world. But maybe if enough songs and voices can join together in the same chorus, we can somehow wake ourselves up from this self- destructive slumber. I remain hopeful."
ARTIST: DAVID MCMILLIN TRACK: HEARTSTEADY "Simply put, I'm giving a song to 1% for the Planet because the planet inspires me to write notebooks full of lyrics, thoughts and chords. Without it, I wouldn't have any songs. Consider this song a "thank you" rather than a donation."
ARTIST: WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS TRACK: IF YOU WOULD COME BACK HOME "To say it's a pleasure for me to be a part of what 1% for the Planet is doing is certainly true, but more than that, it's a necessity. Proactivity to engage the health of our world is something we must do. I'm honored, but moreover, I'm compelled."
ARTIST: PAULA FUGA TRACK: COUNTRY ROAD "One Love
ARTIST: GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS TRACK: TILL THE MORNING COMES AROUND (LIVE)
ARTIST: JOSH ROUSE TRACK: EASY STREET "I just had my first son and I want him to have plenty of clean earth to roam."
ARTIST: MOJAVE TRACK: YOUR SILENCE BETRAYS YOU "Mojave wants to make a difference because we've only got one planet, and one chance."
ARTIST: ARI HEST TRACK: THE WEIGHT "1% for the Planet obviously has a strong, honorable purpose that anyone would want to contribute to. The health of our planet cannot be ignored especially at a time when climates are so unstable."
ARTIST: SPRING STANDARDS TRACK: LITTLE BUG "We contributed a song to this compilation because now is the time for everyone to share what they have to help secure the health and future of our planet - music is what we have to give, and we hope it helps!"
ARTIST: DW BRANDT TRACK: SOME FANTASY "I always think of musicians and all other artists and their works as mirrors for the rest of the world. So beyond the simple reality of survival, if we don't keep our world as beautiful as it is, our art will all suffer the same fate."
ARTIST: MARK ERELLI TRACK: HERE AND NOW (REMIX) "I am honored to be a part of the 1% for the Planet compilation because the organization's mission is the perfect antidote to apathy. When we hear about global environmental crises on the news, I'm not sure we feel that we can individually do anything about it. However, all of us doing even a little bit does really add up, and I'm proud to do what I can to help make a difference."
ARTIST: LORI MCKENNA TRACK: MERCY NOW "I always try to teach my children about the importance of making our world a better place to live in. I chose to support the 1% album because I was so impressed by the organization's passion for healing our planet... my hope is that my involvement will in some small way contribute to that cause."
ARTIST: JOSEPH ARTHUR TRACK: I'M IN YOUR LIFE
I love this planet 'cause it's all we have
ARTIST: K.S. RHOADS TRACK: DARK HOTEL "Thank you 1% for the Planet for creating another program to address the absolutely dire situation of our global ecosystem. When 1% for the Planet arrives, you can count me in."
ARTIST: SONS OF WILLIAM TRACK: SIMPLE AND TRUE (BONUS TRACK) "We are excited to be a small part of 1% for the Planet! We hope that nature continues to give us folks the peace of mind, body, and spirit that only she can... I think that she deserves at least 1% back." |
