NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Rose Music, founded by media executive Joe Poletto, and the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary have teamed up to release Sanctuary Vol. 1, a vinyl-only release of 11 songs by some of the world's most dynamic artists to raise money for the foundation and continue to promote compassion and acceptance throughout the world.

The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary was created in 2013 in honor of Catherine Violet Hubbard, a six-year-old killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Created by Catherine's parents, Jenny and Matt Hubbard, the sanctuary sits on 34 serene and picturesque acres of farmland in Newtown, Connecticut all donated by the state of Connecticut.

Sanctuary Vol.1 includes a "who's who" of talented artists including Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, Madison Cunningham, The Chicks, Indigo Girls, Eliza Gilkyson, Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Dead Horses.

The compilation album is limited to 1000 pressings with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary.

"Blue Rose Music and the Blue Rose Foundation exist to not only showcase some of the world's most talented artists, but also to provide philanthropic support to a wide variety of charities and causes around the country," says Joe Poletto, founder of Blue Rose Music. "Our partnership with the CVH Sanctuary has been a deeply rewarding experience for everyone involved, and we truly hope we can continue to build upon the legacy Catherine left behind."

The album was curated by Joe Poletto alongside Dave Schools, a founding member of Widespread Panic, and built around a long history of female songwriters who have greatly impacted the Hubbard family as well as millions of listeners worldwide.

"The songs and voices contributing to this album are the backdrop to some of my most cherished memories with Catherine, have soothed my heart after her death, and are now one of the most poignant gifts the Sanctuary has received," says Jenny Hubbard. "I am humbled by the continued generosity and graciousness of Joe Poletto and the women artists contributing to this album. The sharing of voices and art inspires and serve as a reminder of a truth Catherine lived: humans truly are kind."
