Dayton, Kentucky’s SofaBurn Records is a label with a roster of artists that includes the likes of Jeremy Pinnell, Buffalo Killers, The Light Wires and Ampline. And to help said artists during the current COVID-19 pandemic, SofaBurn is giving 100 percent of the profits of anything bought from their online store directly to them.
The label also has a charitable gifting subsidiary called SofaGives, which will be matching 25 percent of those online sales with donations to foodbanks and other Greater Cincinnati nonprofits.
And in addition to all of this giving, the label, with their friends Rockridge Bowl in Oakland, California — which they say is a “community focused on supporting art and music while advancing the greater good” in a release — are hoping to produce a series of live-streaming concerts for both artists and fans to stay connected to one another while they can’t physically be in the same room together.
The first mini concert was from Northern Kentucky Country singer Jeremy Pinnell and it was streamed on Facebook live.
If you missed Pinnell’s concert (which took place last night, March 18, at 6 p.m.), you can stream it here.
