Grammy Award winning artists The Civil Wars and Blues Traveler, along with We Are Scientists, The Maine, Delta Spirit, Umphrey’s McGee, Soul Khan and The Front Bottoms are just some of the artists who have donated mostly unreleased tracks for the inaugural College Radio Day Album 2012, to be released on College Radio Day, Oct. 2.

 

The album will be released on College Radio Day – Tuesday, Oct. 2 – when over 500 college and high school radio stations spanning 21 countries will take part in a 24-hour global marathon. Coldplay’s Chris Martin will officially launch the day with a specially recorded message of support for the unique mission of college radio.

I know they supported it in previous years, thought we should all tune in and support the cause this year as well!

Reminds me of that interview Chris gave to college student reporters last fall. Was that in Norwich? Gotta find it and listen to it again.
