Welcome back to Helpin' Aht! This time, we're working with our friends at the after-school arts program The Cove to give instruments and music stuff to some of the kids they work with as holiday presents. 100% of sales from this album, as well as 100% of profit from our recent live showcase, will go towards giving the indispensable gift of music-making to some local kids in need.
There are some truly amazing tracks on this one. As I write this, I'm listening through just honestly stunned at the variety, creativity, and quality of everybody's songs. It really warms my heart that so many talented artists were willing to take the time and energy not only to participate, but to go out of their way to make something really special for this compilation. Special thanks to the folks from out of the area that were willing to help aht, of course!
Please consider buying the album here on Bandcamp if you're able to support the work we do, and if any of the artists on here interest you, make sure to look them up! There are so many talented local artists in Pittsburgh, and you can find all of the bands here linked via our Helpin' Aht instagram page:

If you want to support us, but don't want to buy on Bandcamp, we will of course graciously accept donation via Venmo or Cashapp:

As always, if you have any instruments or equipment laying around that you don't use, even if it's not in the best shape, please contact us! We can fix it up and find a new home for it. Or, are you in need of music gear or an instrument and feel like you can't afford / don't have access? We can help! In addition to instruments, we also always have strings, cables, microphones, drumsticks, and hopefully whatever you need to get playing.
Thank you all so much for continuing to support Helpin' Aht! We have some very exciting things in the pipeline for 2022.
