Buy from: Amazon, CD Baby, iTunes

MPress Records presents the second in its series of annual rising artist compilations with “New Arrivals: Volume 2” (NAV2). Like its predecessor, 100% of the proceeds from sales of NAV2 will benefit another worthy organization, World Hunger Year. Notable indie pioneers Melissa Ferrick, Anne Heaton and Rachael Sage (whose song “Lonely Streets” is included) add to the diverse and talented roster from across the country including: Spin Doctors front-man and native New Yorker Chris Barron; Texas-based Americana vocalist and 2006 Independent Music Award Winner Kristy Krüger; Vermont-based singer/songwriter Gregory Douglass; Chicago rock / soul artist Todd Carey; and Boston Music Award Nominee Mieka Pauley. In addition, hitmaker Jeff Cohen (who has penned songs for such artists as Macy Gray, Sugarland and Tietur), appears with his NYC roots-rock outfit Pancho’s Lament.

“The worthy intentions behind the New Arrivals: Volume Two CD are matched by the quality of the unknown bands on show…a heart-warming combination in what is often perceived as a jaded music industry.” - Ink 19

“…a hot new fundraising compilation, New Arrivals Volume 2 on Rachael Sage’s MPress Records label…is an all-time personal favorite, from among various artists’ collections.” - Vermont Guardian
