AUGUST 16, 2011

October sees the release of THREE new Esperanza Plantation releases, TB Ledford’s debut album Butcher Bird, Wooden Finger’s sophomore album Take and See and Do What You Want, and the Weeks’ new EP Gutter Gaunt Gangster. Additionally, Wooden Finger’s album marks the TWENTIETH Esperanza release, so we’re throwing a GHOULS NIGHT OUT to celebrate!!! That’s right, on October 29th at Hal and Mal’s we’re hosting a trifecta record release show for all three albums!! To help us throw this monster mash, we turned to our friends at Cathead Vodka, who practice what they preach when it comes to their motto to “support live music”. Cathead will be stirring up some signature spook-inspired beverages in their cauldron that are not to be missed! The show kicks off with Wooden Finger (and special guests) taking the stage at 9PM, so step out and howl at the moon with us!! Show is $10 for ages 18+, with door prizes and other ghastly surprises throughout the night!! Come out, come out, wherever you are!!!

Hi. We're Esperanza Plantation. We opened our doors in 2002. That makes us like 48 in indie-label years. What have we learned since our inception? Lots. We formed our own credo which sums up the entire experience: "Don't start a record label on the cusp of a digital revolution unless you're in it for the art." Fortunately, we're in it for art's sake, and have seen our family grow steadily since the first split 7" release as a result. However, through this growth one constant still remains --- we still believe in a sense of "hope" (esperanza) that music can provide and instill, and we're working to give this art a happy home.
