Pete Seeger, Jon Butler Trio, Bonnie Raitt, Marco Benevento Team Up for Anti-Fracking Album March 19, 2015
John Butler Trio, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Franti, Indigo Girls, Marco Benevento, Steve Earle, the late Pete Seeger and more contributed their voices to Buy This Fracking Album, a two-disc benefit compilation. The record, which is something of a follow up to to the 2012 release Occupy This Album, will raise money for Marcellus Protest, Food & Water Watch and other grassroots organizations around the country that are working to ban fracking. The album’s producers are currently raising money via Pledge Music in order to put the finishing touches on the album. Fans that would like to contribute will get rewards like concert tickets, a meet and greet with Bonnie Raitt, a Marco Benevento show in their home and more. Buy This Fracking Album is set for release on June 16.
