The Family Portrait Project

Dear Musical Friends—

Last Spring, the Bachelorettes and friends released a compilation album called The Special Passenger Project—a Jackson and beyond CD that included 17 songs inspired by the phrase ‘Special Passenger.’  The success of this project inspired us to begin our label, Special Passenger Records and we are just so excited to announce a brand new project called Family Portrait.

Family Portrait will be a compilation cd + zine of collaborations between family members. We are fascinated by family bands and hope that this project inspires you to create music with family members who you may not have played with before. If you and your family members like to make music together, or want to try for the first time, we would love to include it on our album.

The CD will be released with a zine that will include portraits of the performers and special pages designed by each group. In addition to submitting a song for the project, we are also asking you to send in a photo of your fam-band, and a page for the zine. Your page can include anything you would like, such as stories, lyrics, drawings, jokes, etc.  It should fit in a 5″x5″ square. Also, keep in mind that the photos and zine pages with be copied in black and white. The deadline to submit final recordings, pictures and zine pages is April 15th, and the project will be released on May 30th at the Special Passenger Family Reunion, a bbq picnic & day of fun.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in being a part of this project. All songs should be original material, written for this album.  We are so excited about this special project and we can’t wait to hear from you!
Thanks,
Annie & Amanda
Special Passenger Records
