This is the first of the Brakeman's monthly fundraising compilations. The Brakeman will be a non-profit community oriented coffeehouse in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The Brakeman is hoping to be up and running in January 2012. The Brakeman will be located in the historic Dansbury Depot building, which is in the process of being renovated and repaired after a 2009 fire. The project is being supported by the Eastburg Community Alliance.

One of The Brakeman's many goals is to support local artists as well as bring traveling musicians into our town. This particular compilation, while showcasing a few Pocono artists, is a collection of musicians based out of various regions... from New Zealand to Alaska to Chicago. It's a small taste of the varied music the Brakeman will host.

All profits made from this compilation will go directly to operational and set up costs.

(The Coffee House's committee is headed by Billy Mack, who has previously released an album on My Idea of Fun)

The door to Satori officially opened to the public on March 21, 2008. Since that moment we all have been lucky enough to share many great nights of music and art, with some of the brightest minds / hearts of this area, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

The walls have held the most beautiful works of art, by the same people who have shown me what true art is throughout my life. It's happiness. It's sadness. It's inspiration. It's freedom. It is life.

So to my great friends -
TK Mundok

Thank you for your influence and brotherhood

The gallery holds an electricity, an energy. The musicians have unlocked it every time. You can hear it, and you can feel it. A real connection. A group mind holding an eagerness to explore another's expression. An awareness of creation, style and a respect of vision.

Many thanks to the great artists, musicians and rock stars who have graced this quaint little stage and helped build it to the giant proportions that we hear on this compilation.

Please visit myspace.com/satorigallery to find links to the acts that have performed here and scheduling of new events.
