share in the experience, be a Threadhead.”
About Threadhead Records: Threadhead Records is an unprecedented non‐profit record company
formed out of the love for New Orleans, its music, and its musicians. Its mission is to help New
Orleans musicians who were victims of the flooding that occurred from the failed levees, which took
place in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. To this day, most of the musicians in New Orleans are still
attempting to rebuild their lives.
Each CD project is funded by the fans themselves and is paid back by the musicians with an
additional 10 percent charitable return to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic. The musicians own
their own work; Threadhead Records does not sign artists nor are they involved in creative
decisions or ownership of songs. THR exists solely to help musicians get their CDs made. No more,
no less. Threadhead Records is helping to rebuild New Orleans, one song at a time.
