about

In April 2020, Northern Colorado musicians joined forces to cover Men at Work’s iconic album: Business As Usual — under conditions that were as about as far from “usual” as anyone could imagine. This compilation is the result, and your purchase will help ensure our neighbors have a way to stay home during a time when many are facing housing insecurity.

Speaking of home: these tracks were learned and self-recorded in the space of 10 days, from home, using whatever gear was on hand, with a global pandemic requiring distanced collaboration among the artists. The resulting songs provided the soundtrack to a livestream event spotlighting the work of Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N.org) a Colorado nonprofit providing rental assistance and eviction prevention services. The event raised money for N2N in a time where demand for rent assistance had increased by 700%, and proceeds from digital downloads of the compilation will continue to increase their impact and support their vital mission.
