This year's selections were culled from 143 submissions and include, as always, a fine cross-section of local talent; you'll find high energy rock, quirky pop, soulful Americana, jam rock and more on this year's compilation. Proceeds from CD sales benefit AthFest educational programs like AthFest InSchool, AthFest AfterSchool and Keys for Kids. This is the 13th annual AthFest CD produced by Ghostmeat Records.
