We’re very happy to let you all know we have the first show approaching for our new collaboration with PledgeMusic. We’re already planning several releases for our artists through what we believe to be a magnificent tool in helping artists continue making great records to the standard they deserve, with the backing of the people that make the artists what they are – you music lovers.

Here’s the press release:

/// Karousel Music announce new link up with PledgeMusic ///
