At Higher Grounds, we're committed to supporting local, independent artists – and in Northern Michigan, we are lucky to have a wealth of talented musicians. Many of these artists belong to the Earthwork Music collective, a network of Michigan musicians that encourages original music and believes in its power to raise community- and self-awareness. There's no fat-cat music execs in this picture; when you purchase one of these albums, your money is going directly to support the creative work and community involvement of these amazing folks.
