During 2009 Norfolk, Virginia band Mae will be bringing an exclusive new song every month.  When you visit whatismae.com, you will be able to hear the music for free.  Every song will be available as a digital download for a min. donation of $1.

From whatismae.com:

“Our promise to you is to commit all of the profits from digital downloads to fund humanitarian projects that Mae and you will be a part of all year long. Like a fire that spreads without boundaries, we can ignite a change in this world if we work together. As we tie our voices, our resources, our minds, and most importantly our actions together, we will see the world change for the better over the course of this year and beyond. Take this music and this mission and run with it.

There is strength in numbers. There is power in community. However, community is only as strong as the individuals that create it. That is why we believe this project will work; because you are here reading this right now. The power to make a difference is here in your hands. From the beginning, Mae has been about making music and using our voice to help serve as a bridge to connect people and build community. For the entirety of 2009, our desire is to be the change we want to see in the world. This is how you can help write the story.”
