Artist description
Gotham Artists is a coalition of some of New York Citys most sought after musicians and singers. Some of our names have graced record covers or just the liner notes. Some of our faces sit in the orchestra at The New York Philharmonic. Others live and work somewhat anonymously in the music production community of Manhattan. We came together for one day to record and mix a song to benefit The American Red Cross. Its the least we could do. The process has even helped us overcome our own feelings of helplessness in these strange times, and we hope you will be moved by our efforts.

Artist History
Via television broadcasts spanning the globe, the entire world was a witness to the incomprehensible events of September 11th, 2001. A shared feeling of utter senselessness permeated the planet the moment towers fell. Our initial shock was immediately fol lowed by frantic questions: Where are my loved ones? Where are my friends? Did I know anyone who worked at The World Trade Center? Did I know anyone traveling from Boston or Newark that day? Who do I know in Washington?
At the end of it all, another que s tion surfaced: What could we do to help? We are simply musicians, singers, and artists who happened to have made our lives in New York City and the surrounding areas. Understandably, the city needed more rescue workers at Ground Zero than musicians, an d m ore welders than singers.
Not being pop stars or famous movie actors, there seemed like little that we could do, except pray. Then almost magically, through the sheer effort and good will of so many kind people, a momentum started and we all found o u rselves in a recording studio for one long day with an idea that we could help out, and that we could do so by using our own modest talents.
Gotham Artists is a coalition of New York musicians and singers. We're all friends and we wanted to give som et hi ng back to our community in these unsteady times. Sales of our CD single will benefit The American Red Cross. Its the least we could do.
