'Chicago’s longest-running independent rock label throws the first Pravdafest, celebrating 38 years of rolling with the punches and putting in the work.' | markguarino
Steve Dawson, who performs at Pravdafest on Friday, released this song as part of a 2021 Pravda album.
Another advantage of working with veteran artists is that they tend not to take for granted the work labels do. “A lot of people say, ‘We don’t need record labels anymore,’ but I think they do,” Goodman explains. “A lot of bands don’t want to sit around and run a business. They want to make music. To do that you need a label and partnership with people you have a good relationship with.”
Susan Voelz, a singer-songwriter and violinist who performs with Poi Dog Pondering, released her first solo album,, through Pravda in 1993. She says the label’s support “was pivotal” to moving forward with her own music. “It validated me. It made me believe in myself to keep evolving, keep writing,” she says. “They let me do exactly what I wanted to do. I would give them a finished record. And I could go anywhere I wanted with it musically.
