Caffe Vita’s Give 2013 Compilation is FANTASTIC

For only $10 you can support Vera Project (a truly fantastic community organization) AND get a genre spanning deluxe sampler platter of some of the best music this city has to offer.  You want to know why I never shut up about the quality of our local music? Listen to this compilation, and if you still have any questions, come find me and I’ll proudly poke you in the eyeball.
