PledgeMusic (www.pledgemusic.com), a leading international direct-to-fan platform for raising funds for musicians to record and tour, today announced a partnership with the David Lynch Foundation (DLF), to raise funds with the sale of exclusive unique tracks by some of the world's top artists. All funds will go to support the work of DLF in their global outreach, including teaching stress-reducing meditation to one million at-risk youth and 10,000 veterans with PTSD.
During the Pledge Campaign, supporters pledge for exclusive items from participating artists and are rewarded with Pledgers-Only access to videos, music, photos and blogs. Additional items include signed lyric sheets, signed albums and books from various artists (including David Lynch) and, one of the more unique items to date, the Neon Tree's 2010 Tour Carpet.
At the end of the campaign, everyone who pledges receives the group of exclusive tracks from all the participating artists and other behind the scenes exclusives. The artists involved have been so enthusiastic they generated a ground swell of support amongst their fans which thrust the campaign to over 50% before the official press launch had even begun.
In addition to supporting the DLF Music “Download for Good” campaign on PledgeMusic, last week Lynch unveiled his newly designed personal website, www.davidlynch.com, which spotlights the growing catalog of releases from his very own David Lynch Music Company.
One of the most renowned avant-garde film directors and visual artists of his time, Lynch has always had a deep connection to music. Today, he combines those qualities with his Foundation's partnership with PledgeMusic.
“One of PledgeMusic’s core objectives has always been to raise money for charity,” said PledgeMusic founder, Benji Rogers. “Working with the David Lynch Foundation and the calibre of artists that have come together to support their mission is more than we could have hoped for. ‘Music for a change’ was our unofficial slogan throughout the founding of the company and today we have come together with a brilliant partner and a great cause.”
