PORTSMOUTH — PaganFM!, a radio program and Pagan podcast, originating at WSCA-LP, 106.1 FM in Portsmouth, and Circle Sanctuary, located near Barneveld, Wis,m have embarked on a collaborative effort, with the support of musicians from around the world, to create a music album, the proceeds from which will be used to provide assistance to the recovery and rebuilding efforts in Haiti.



In less than one week, this project has grown from mere idea, to a collaborative effort spanning multiple countries and continents. All of these people have come together with the single goal of bringing healing to a shattered landscape.



Pagan musicians and bands from Australia to Canada are taking part; some are very well-known, others are up and coming, and still others are well-established but have more limited audiences.



The music on the album ranges from folk, to rock to ethnic and beyond. This album will be an opportunity for each of them to use their talents and skills to open the hearts of listeners across the planet, encouraging everyone to unite in purpose.



The proposed release date for this album is the first week in March. Local organizers are hoping to have a release party at WSCA in Portsmouth.



Release parties are being planned in the areas where groups of the artists happen to be from.



We're hoping to have another party in the Toronto area, one at Circle Sanctuary in Wisconsin, and another in Australia.
