Last week, Lindsey Verrill (Little Mazarn) and Genevieve Poist (Virginia Creeper) banded together to share ATX x AVL with Love, a 26-song compilation album of local Texas artists benefitting Hurricane Helene victims in western North Carolina. The funds raised by this comp between 10/11-10/31 will all be donated to ROAR Western North Carolina. You can purchase the comp here at the Little Mazarn bandcamp page.

The comp, made up entirely of local Texas artists, includes contributions from A.L. West, Proun, Will Johnson, Other Vessels, Joey Reyes, Crushrose, Creekbed Carter, Virginia Creeper, Middle Sattre, Gilded Lows, Felt Out, Little Mazarn, Bill Baird and Large Brush Collective.

It’s collaborators, Verrill and Poist, shared in a statement, “watching helplessly as the news of Hurricane Helene tearing its way through the heart of Western North Carolina reached us here in Austin, Texas, we banded together with some of our favorite local musicians to create a collection of songs to help raise funds for mutual aid efforts in WNC. It is difficult to know how to tangibly help in moments like these, especially when need and attention is called for in so many directions, but we hope this compilation will help contribute to North Carolina’s rebuilding efforts in even the smallest of ways, further Central Texas’ solidarity with those affected by the hurricane, and share some of our favorite music with you as you go about your days.”
