Luz de Vida Record Release Party // Fort Lowell Records Showcase
Tucson, Arizona -- Saturday, May 21st -- iHeartRadio and Zia Records presents Luz de Vida: A Benefit Concert for Survivors of Trauma at Hotel Congress; the second official Record Release Party for Luz de Vida II: A Compilation to Benefit Homicide Survivors, featuring a Fort Lowell Records Showcase.
Luz de Vida – Spanish for Light of Life – is an expression of community, love, healing, grace and hope, a positive response from Tucson musicians and national artists. The original Luz de Vida project began in the days after the Jan. 8, 2011 shooting that took the lives of six people and injured 19 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and shook the Tucson community and nation.
For the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, members of the original Luz de Vida production team partnered with Homicide Survivors, Inc. to release a second compilation record, featuring Tucson and national artists and released on Fort Lowell Records.
Join us Saturday, May 21, 2022 to celebrate the official album release of Luz de Vida II along with Homicide Survivors, Inc. and Fort Lowell Records. The concert will include featured artists from Luz de Vida II – Tracy Shedd, Soda Sun, and Gabriel Naïm Amor – along with other Fort Lowell Records recording artists such as La Cerca, Young Mothers, and newcomers from Phoenix AZ: KITIMOTO and JPW.

We've got beanies!
Just in time for all of this snow, Fort Lowell Records is very happy to let you know that we've got beanies available for sale! And not just any beanie, but supercomfy, superior cotton blend knit beanies, made by OTTO CAPOTTO CAP; not those itchy acrylic kind -- these are the (really) good ones!
We've got t-shirts!
Meet Josh Putnam, photographer of the image used for our brand new Fort Lowell Record T-Shirt, shown here -- modeled by Josh himself. Not only did Josh take the original picture we used for the design of our new t-shirt, but he is also going to be the featured photographer for our new series This Water is Life, which showcases Wilmington NC based Hip-Hop + Indie Rock music on vinyl; coming soon, very soon. For now, we are all superstoked about these new t-shirts, thanks to Josh! Printed by Elliott McDonald at Creo Print Co. on Alternative Apparel shirts, there is a very limited supply of these tees, so don't miss out!
By the way, can you guess what building in Downtown Wilmington NC makes up the 'Z' design of the shirt?

Happy Birthday, Fort Lowell Records
On this day (December 21), twelve years ago (2009), our record label was born out of the love and admiration for artists within our community. It all started from a conversation with Zach Toporek from Young Mothers allowing us to release their latest recordings, aided by the sale of our yellow 1976 CJ5 Jeep (AKA: Rock Crawler, with 35" tires and a 4" lift kit; damn I miss her) to help fund the first few records. Thank you, everyone, for the continuous support. 2022 is going to be an amazing year for Fort Lowell Records, so stay tuned for new music coming your way soon. Happy Holidays!

My first and second concert ever, from thirty years ago, now on video
The year was 1991; the date, October 2nd. I was sixteen years old, and my bandmates -- Steven Haley and Frank Mazzeo -- were right about the same. It was the first rock-n-roll band any of us had ever been in. We were called Tumblewēd. Our first concert was held at Einstein A Go-Go in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and thank God our friend Jamie Newell brought his VHS video camera to record the event with our friends Lazzaroni [R.I.P. Dave This]. The funny thing is, I had never seen this video until now, thirty years later, when Jamie decided to archive some of his old VHS tapes to YouTube. Thank you again and again, Jamie, for doing this!
Can you image doing something today for the first time ever in your live -- something that ends up shaping your very existence altogether as a person -- and then thirty years later someone shows you a video of that very moment? It is truly a mind-blowing experience that I still can't quite wrap my head around. The cherry on top: Jamie not only captured our first show, but also our second show which took place one month later at The House of Ill Repute [H.O.I.] on November 2, 1991 again with Lazzaroni, as well as Duel Sheep.

Thank you, Bandcamp!
So, the folks at Bandcamp got word of what Fort Lowell Records is doing with our two releases - honeybrandy Not In Out City (Remixed) and GROW: A Compilation in Solidarity with Black Lives Matter - where we are donating 100% of our sales to the North Carolina New Hanover County NAACP, and they have decided to lower their own fees to allow for more money to flow through to our community!
Thank you, Bandcamp! We truly appreciate your support! - Fort Lowell Records
