and to local grassroots activism by producing and distributing an incredible

from Joan Osborne, SpaceHog, Gin Blossoms, The Why Store, Dave Matthews
Band, Cowboy Junkies, Primitive Radio Gods, The Cranberries, Hootie &
the Blowfish, Natalie Merchant, Dishwalla, Jewel, Deep Blue Something, Jars
Of Clay, Paul Westerberg and Elvis Costello.
"I'm very happy to say that last years
Collector's Edition Volume I raised $10,463 for San Diego Earthday,"
said Jeff Gelder, host/producer of Gelder's Global Gig, Music for the Planet,
and the driving force behind the project. "This years CD once again
has an incredible line-up of talented artists who have donated their songs
for the cause, plus two songs unavailable anywhere commercially. I'm confident
that San Diegans will buy more CDs this year and help the Wherehouse raise
even more money to maintain and improve San Diego's beautiful environment."
The Collector's Edition Volume 2 is on sale
now at all San Diego and Temecula Wherehouse Stores. All proceeds will be
donated to San Diego Earth Day.
