Medford, OR (PRWEB) September 23, 2008 -- Musician's Friend, direct marketer of music gear, has teamed up with Electro-Voice to aid Minneapolis in bridge disaster relief efforts. Just over a year ago, the 9340 bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River leaving 13 dead and over 100 people injured. Beginning in September 2008, all EV speakers and microphones -- except for Cobalt series mics -- will come with a free 3-CD compilation called Musicians For Minneapolis. The CD has a $20 value and proceeds will go to Minnesota Helps: Bridge Disaster Fund, an organization that supports families and survivors of those affected by the disaster.
Sound engineers seeking pro audio microphones (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/microphones-pro-audio?N=100001+338405&Ntk=All&Ntt=Electro-Voice&Nty=1) and gigging musicians needing quality live sound microphones (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/live-sound-microphones?N=100001+304601&Ntk=All&Ntt=Electro-Voice&Nty=1) are invited to take part, give back, and be rewarded.
The collection of 57 songs covers the full spectrum of music styles from artists across the nation. Some of the most recognized names in the music industry, including guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, have contributed songs for use on the benefit album. Vai's previously unreleased track, Without Me, is included. Commenting on his contribution, Vai said, "This piece of music is contributed to this project out of respect and love for the great city of Minneapolis, and with sympathy and support to the families who were affected by the August 1, 2007 bridge disaster. We are perpetually rebuilding everything, from our cities to our souls. God bless."
Musician's Friend acknowledges the help of Andrew Beard from their buying team and Ryan May from Electro-Voice for making this collaboration with Minnesota Helps possible. One of Beard's former rock bands toured the Minnesota area and crossed the I-35W bridge many times in the past. He noted, "Every disaster has residual effects as we try to move on with our lives. It important those affected get the support they need. The Musicians for Minneapolis CD compilation (http://www.Electro-Voice.com/musiciansforminneapolis/) calls attention to what happened in Minneapolis and gives people an opportunity to help. For this reason, Musician's Friend and Electro-Voice are honored to aid Minnesota Helps: Bridge Disaster Fund."
Among the Electro-Voice products at Musician's Friend are the new EV PL microphone line and famed Tour-X Speakers.
The Electro-Voice PL-80 Microphone (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/EV-PL80-Handheld-Condenser-Mic?sku=482603), a professional performance vocal microphone is back after being a bestseller years ago. EV's PL mics are also featured in the Electro-Voice DK7 Drum Microphone Pack (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Electro-Voice-PL-DK7-Drum-Mic-Pack?sku=272226), a complete microphone solution for gigging drummers with a five-piece drum set.
