AIRPLAY DIRECT PARTNERS WITH
THE JOSEPH GOMOLL FOUNDATION
AirPlay Direct is proud to partner with The Joseph Gomoll Foundation and their independent record label, Hi How Are Ya? Records in
association with Omnivore Recordings. They produce Joey's Song, a
series of compilation CDs featuring rare and unreleased music from
nationally and internationally known, award-winning artists. The CDs
are named in honor of Joey Gomoll, who passed away in March of 2010.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of Joey’s Song music and merchandise
is donated to deserving charitable organizations which focus on seizure-related disorders or special needs children.
Artists
on Joey’s Song Volume 2 include Rosanne Cash, Pete Droge, Sam Phillips,
Mark Olson, Gary Louris and many more. Joey’s Songs for Kids Volume 2
features Martha Davis, The Knack, The Baseball Project, Sam Llanas,
Freddy Johnson and the Handsome Family.
"We
are proud to have this opportunity to partner with The Joseph Gomoll
Foundation and Joey’s Song in getting out the word out about the great
work they are doing for children and also to bring the music of these
great artists, who feel the same as we do about this cause, to our radio
station members so they also can spread the word about Joey’s Song when
they play these songs.” Michael Harnett, President - AirPlay Direct.
“Joey’s
Song could not be more grateful for the support of AirPlay Direct.
They have spent untold personal time with us to ensure our account and
releases were set up in a manner that will allow our message to reach as
many people as possible. AirPlay Direct’s platform is incredibly easy
to use and provides tools that will allow us to track our success and
build important relationships within the industry. I would highly
recommend their services to any artist or label.” Kevin Baird,
Executive Director - The Joseph Gomoll Foundation.
About the Joseph Gomoll Foundation/Joey’s Song:
The
Joseph Gomoll Foundation was established to raise money and awareness
for special needs children and all those who suffer from seizures
disorders. Our goal is to raise money that can be used for research,
treatment and support of those affected by this terrible affliction.
The generous, talented artists who donated their art to Joey’s Song
have made possible contributions to such diverse charities as The
Epilepsy Foundation of America, C.U.R.E., The Dravet Syndrome
Foundation, Gio’s Garden, Musicians on Call, and Orphans Resource
International.
Because
music was the centerpiece of Joey’s world, there is no better way for
us to raise money in his name than through music. It is our hope that
by producing the Joey’s Song series of CDs, we are able to take one
family’s personal tragedy and make something good come from it. We hope
that those who listen to, and purchase, Joey’s Song will not only enjoy
the incredible music, but will also feel good knowing that their
purchase is helping others. If you would like further information about
Joey’s Song, please contact Kevin Baird at kmbaird@joeyssong.org
