[News] Third Man Records To Give School Choirs, Bands A Vinyl Experience Of A Lifetime
Earlier today Third Man Records announced a partnership that is sure to put a smile on your face. As we all know, with every passing day budgets for music education programs are being constantly being slashed. To combat that, Jackie White's label is offering students in school choirs and bands everywhere the chance of a lifetime. With the help of their partner Brightspark Travel, students will get the opportunity to visit the Nashville-based label, record some of their songs there, have their recorded songs pressed in dual-color 7" vinyl (their school colors), and receive a commemorative plaque.
Bravo to you, Jackie. You may keep us guessing with things like appearances on American Pickers and deciding to work with Insane Clown Posse, but you've done a great thing here.
