Sugarfoot Artists
Justine Sasanfar’s “Endless Song” is a solo piano CD: Brahms, Handel, Chopin, Bach, & improvisational arrangements of folk music. Proceeds from Justine's CD feed thousands of Tanzanians through Kids Against Hunger.
Jelloslave’s “Touch It” is a sonic delight of new music/jazz. This cello & drum quartet play an eclectic repertoire ranging from J.S. Bach to Led Zeppelin, to their own improvisational & jazz influenced compositions. “Touch It” supports the Superior Hiking Trail.
Sandy Hinding's CD "Chase The Grumpies Away" is being tracked now. The 2007 release will help Children's Literacy and Kids Against Hunger.
Future Plans
Sugarfoot has more benefit CDs in the planning stages, and welcomes custom benefit projects. "The Best Of The Buzz", a long awaited reunion/compilation will raise funds for the Lupus Foundation.
Upcoming projects with Desdamona & Carnage, Prudence Johnson, ETHYL, Neverwas & James Patrick promise a wide ranging scope of quality releases.
