I took some time off, but it's about time for another entry in the Homebrew compilation series, don't you think?

Since it began in 2008, five volumes of Jeff Hahne's Homebrew have been released featuring more than 70 Charlotte area bands and artists. Each release has been celebrated with a concert featuring a handful of that CD's featured artists.

We're still working out the exact details of how this will all come together - CD vs. download card, but we've got some concert dates on hold and are ready to get this all going.

So, here's the call for entries. I'm looking for music from bands and artists located within a 30-mile radius of Charlotte who have put out new music anytime between the beginning of 2012 and now. If you'd like to send in your submission, you can email it to jeff.hahne@creativeloafing.com.

Go ahead and get those submissions in by Aug. 31 and I'll select the best that Charlotte has to offer for inclusion on Jeff Hahne's Homebrew Vol. 6!

In the meantime, you can download all of the previous releases and read more about how this all started here.
