St. Francis Records Friends!
We're excited to share with you the brand new cover art for our benefit compilation 'No Distance Between Us: A Benefit for Ukrainian Refugees.' This album will benefit International Rescue Committee and their work with Ukrainian Refugees.

This beautiful art was created by Matthew Childers, who has created all of the other art for our St. Francis Records releases.

For this piece, Matthew was inspired by the Ukrainian folk art style known as petrykivka that draws on flowers and other natural elements to decorate house walls and other household items.

We've now got 23(!) contributors on this project and we've already got quite a few songs in hand from those artists. We'll be sharing that roster in the very near future so be sure to stay tuned!

What a week it's been!

On Monday, April 7, Kevin Bianchi (our fearless leader and the creative force behind Vanishing Shores) suggested creating a compilation to benefit the work of International Rescue Committee and their work with Ukrainian Refugees.

As of now, we have 21 interested artists in the project!

Thanks to all of those good folk who responded to the call! We'll be sharing who those folks are in the near future.

Working title for the album is 'No Distance Between Us: A Benefit for Ukrainian Refugees.' The title is drawn from a Vanishing Shores lyric (see comments for link to the song).

We've got our artist working on cover art and we're working on gathering the submissions and doing the necessary curation and studio work. We're aiming for an early summer release.

(Art below is the art for the single version of the song and not the benefit compiliation.)

St. Francis Records, is going to release a Bandcamp only digital compilation to send money to support Ukranian refugees in Poland through the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

Any indie artists willing to donate a track to be a part of this effort?

If so, hit me up. All we need is an unmastered track and your kind permission.
