Musicfest NW Releases CD Compilation

Willamette Week’s Musicfest NW will release a compilation album, "Musicfest NW Vol. 2," on August 14th, 2007 and features artists playing this year’s festival including Spoon, Aesop Rock, Okkervil River, Grizzly Bear, plus Portland stand-outs The Thermals, Viva Voce, YACHT, and The Shaky Hands. Exclusive to the MFNW CD is the Deerhunter track, “Spring Break.” The complete track listing can be found below.

The festival compilation will be sold at CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com), as well as other record stores in Portland, OR. Musicfest NW will continue its non-profit fundraising objective by donating proceeds from CD sales as well as from the festival to the Rock and Roll Camp for Girls and the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.

This year’s festival will be held at various clubs around the Portland, OR metropolitan area on September 6, 7, 8 & 9, 2007. Wristbands for the four-day event are on sale now. Please visit http://musicfestnw.com/ for details on performers and where to purchase passes.

On the heels of the most successful MFNW to date, 2007 launches with nothing but the hope for an even bigger and better festival. MFNW's ultimate aim is to provide Portland with a unique and special musical experience that honors the talent of the Northwest while giving back to the local kid-focused music programs such as The Oregon Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame & The Rock N' Roll Camp for Girls for the second year in a row.
