Ball of Wax 59 CD (11 local artists covering each other’s songs) included with entry
As you can probably tell from the above, there’s a lot going on with this volume of Ball of Wax. First, I hand-picked ten local musicians from the Ball of Wax community, in addition to myself, who gamely agreed to participate in this project. Then I randomly selected the order in which we would cover each other’s songs*, which we are all now in the process of finalizing. On February 21st this CD – 11 brand-new recordings of Seattle musicians interpreting each other’s work – will be released with great fanfare, along with a live performance by as many of the involved artists as possible.
We’ll start sharing the originals and covers here on the Blog of Wax soon, leading up to the release show. We’ll see you there.
