The Levee Breaking presents an ongoing showcase of local and independently released albums and EPs. The albums are selected quarterly from an ocean of submissions and are sold from listening stations hosted by arts-supportive Seattle coffee houses. The showcase focuses on the Pacific Northwest but is open to musicians from all regions.
The Online Showcase: The five featured albums will be posted to the Levee Breaking site for the duration of the showcase (from which point they'll be included in the showcase history).
The Physical Showcase: The albums will be distributed to and available for purchase from listening stations hosted by coffee shops around Seattle. At the close of the showcase the author(s) receive 90% of all album sales, with 10% going to the cafés.
