Showcase Session – Adventure – Winter 19

The Fatea Showcase Sessions are designed to provide greater exposure to artists that have impressed the Fatea team. Some are already signed, others are carving a solo trail, releasing songs on their own labels, all are dedicated to their music.

Fatea Showcase Sessions are exclusively available for a three month period after which they will never be available again. The Fatea Showcase Sessions are zip files containing high quality, 256kbs, DRM-free, mp3s.

“Whilst the songs on The Fatea Showcase Sessions come to you, the listener at no charge, they are not free. The writers/performers have put money, time and effort into creating the songs on this compilation for your enjoyment. We hope that you take the time to visit the websites of the artists included here and consider purchasing their music. Fatea hopes that this compilation gives you a taste for folk and roots orientated music and that you will seek out the works of the artists included in this compilation and in the wider music community.”

“Adventure” is dedicated to all acts from solo artists, through duos to bands. Each act has their own style and we hope you’ll appreciate each of their efforts. The Fatea Showcase Sessions are designed so not all of the acts come from the same genre. “Adventure” is available from May 1st to July 31st.
