A new all-star album spearheaded by "concerned citizens" drops Tuesday to raise money for First Avenue, featuring tracks donated on the club's behalf by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, the Drive-by Truckers, Fugazi, Dessa, Trampled by Turtles, Thurston Moore, the Hold Steady, Semisonic, Atmosphere, Soul Asylum, the Jayhawks and more.
Dubbed the First Love Project and available via the download site Bandcamp.com, the digital album is the star attraction in a subscription service that will continue to offer new tracks to benefit the darkened venue until it can host live music again. The starting rate for the service is $25.
