Vega Productions and 89.3 The Current are proud to announce the release of The Minnesota Beatle Project Volume I.

The Minnesota Beatle Project Volume I features esteemed MN-born-or-based musicians performing originally arranged compositions of their favorite Beatles songs. The album also features The 80-piece Anthony Middle School Concert Band(a 2009 Vega recipient of 30+ instruments) as well as album artwork created by students in the Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools. 100% of net proceeds from The Minnesota Beatle Project will be used to rebuild and enhance music and art education for children in Minnesota public schools.

The album is available at major music retailers, Minnesota record shops, all Schmitt Music stores and online through iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody and CD Baby.

Vega Productions has partnered with the MMEA(Minnesota Music Educators Association) and the AEM(Art Educators of Minnesota) to help distribute Minnesota Beatle Project funds equitably across the entire state of MN.
