Public media is under threat. Proposed federal funding cuts could devastate PBS and its 1,500+ local stations — vital sources of trusted news, educational programming, and emergency alerts for millions.
This compilation is a call to action. Curated by Mike Horn of Seawind of Battery, it unites artists who refuse to stay silent — offering a sonic show of support to keep public media alive, accessible, and independent.
Featuring 19 songs — available digitally and on limited edition cassette — this powerful collection of unreleased material, live recordings, and essential works showcases artists including Seawind of Battery, The Royal Arctic Institute, Ernie Francestine, Chitinous Mandible, Bill MacKay, Golden Brown, modern folk electronic ensemble, Aux Meadows & Indianna Hale, Jon Camp, Joseph Allred, Zachary Cale, Jarrod Annis, Brian John McBrearty, Nick Millevoi, Prairiewolf, Elkhorn, rootless, & Dave Heumann.
