FloydFest Bus Stop Special-Edition Vinyl Fundraiser’s stated mission is “to provide a platform for various artists to come together and create unique content in a unique way. [They] produce live recordings on film, giving artists promotable video and still-photo content.” They aim to produce a two-sided disc which will be manufactured by Gotta Groove Records, hand-pressed and numbered. The project marks the third time FloydFest have pressed limited edition vinyl, and fans of the project can support the effort by making tax-deductible donations to The Blue Cow Art Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
