On the first Friday of every month, artists receive 100% of the revenues on their music.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m buying this month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sarahjanescouten.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-sweetest-homewrecker\">The Sweetest Homewrecker<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/sarahjanescouten.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-sweetest-homewrecker\">Sarah Jane Scouten<\/a>.  Sarah Jane is a Bowen Island artist who now lives in Scotland and makes the most amazing roots music.  Explore her catalogue tomorrow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/regschwager.bandcamp.com\/album\/ever-now\">Ever Now<\/a> by Reg Schwager and Don Thompson. Over the past year, Toronto guitarist Reg Schwager has been placing some of his back catalogue on Bandcamp. This 2017 album is a brilliant set of duets with bassist Don Thompson, another Canadian jazz legend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rustyford.bandcamp.com\/album\/my-truck-my-dog-and-you\">My Truck, My Dog and You<\/a> by Rusty Ford. Rusty is a friend and a great performer of alt-country music.  This is a hilarious set of original songs inspired by a list of country song titles of &#8220;songs that should be written.&#8221;  Rusty wrote &#8217;em.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/redshiftmusicsociety.bandcamp.com\/album\/symphonies-of-mother-and-child\">Symphony of Mother and Child<\/a> by Nova Pon.  My next door neighbour Nova is a composer. This symphony is her musical documentation of mothering her daughter from new born through the first five years of her life. I personally love this piece of music because it contains references to bird song and the sounds of our neighbourhood and captures the character of my next door neighbours.  Hyper local. I already own this album- I handed her $20 when I met her on a walk in the forest one day &#8211; but I encourage you to buy it and support her work. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And if you want your Bandcamp purchase to support a good cause<a href=\"https:\/\/intheheather.bandcamp.com\/album\/in-the-heather\"> In The Heather<\/a> is an album of traditional Irish music 14 friends and I made back in 2001 to raise money for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phs.ca\/about\/\">Portland Hotel Society<\/a> in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.  All proceeds from this album go to supporting services and housing for folks with complex physical and mental health issues. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday, on which day the popular music site waives its revenue sharing agreement with artists.
