Blue Dragon Records is an independent record label promoting local Asheville, NC artists with record compilations, video documentation and merchandise distribution. These tools are combined with fundraising efforts for local organizations and include marketing and promotional events for participating artists.
All events produced and promoted by Blue Dragon include visual artists, dance troupes, slam poets, acoustic duets and good ole’ southern rock bands. A portion of proceeds will always be slated for the organization being supported by the projects being promoted : A minimum of 15% of Blue Dragon Records annual profit margin is donated to the Asheville-Buncombe Chapter of the United Way.
Every project on Blue Dragon Records supports a cause through a non-profit organization chosen by the artists. Compilations are to raise money for specific organizations. Mr. Romine and Mr. Aragorn have committed to returning as much money as possible to the artists and their chosen causes.
Blue Dragon was founded by Ian Romine, Class of 2012. Poet, bass player and big brother. Ian will be starting 9th grade @ Asheville High School in the autumn and is planning to study pre-med and music @ DUKE. He aspires to become a surgeon. He plays soccer with the ABYSA and his latest hobby is cooking. Praise Allah!
Joshua Aragorn... currently a (somewhat) silent partner. Joshua is in the 2nd grade, a 5 year old homeschooler especially fond of scooby doo, ben stiller, maps and BBC’s online interactive body systems. and playing imagination with scores of stuffed animals and a trunk full of dress-up clothes.
The first project released on Blue Dragon Records was:
WHITE TRASH GODDESS : Christina Aurea’s debut studio album which raises money for the cessation of childhood sexual abuse. She donates 15% of revenue to Stop It Now!
www.stopitnow.org
IN PRODUCTION:
Just Call Me : Christina Aurea’s sophomore effort featuring over a dozen pairs of musical brothers, which will raise money for the HEIFER Organization. www.heifer.org
On the table:
OUR TEACHERS ROCK volume ONE : A compilation of songs recorded by area educators to promote teaching musicians and raise money for local alternative education and public educational reform.
LAAFF OUT LOUD volume ONE : A compilation of studio work, produced by artists who have performed at the Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival (LAAFFest). Raises money for Arts2People. For more information about Arts2People & the Lexfest, go to www.arts2people.org
