Springsteen contributes song to latest Odd Squad Production
Vancouver BC - Bruce Springsteen was the first of many artists who agreed to contribute to a benefit CD produced by Odd Squad Productions. Initially contacted in February of 2008, Springsteen contributed a song and a licensing agreement was signed on June 11th 2008. Odd Squad Productions have subsequently negotiated licensing agreements with several more socially conscious artists including The Barenaked Ladies, Colin James, Randy Bachman, Charlie Major, Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes, 54:40, Paul Hyde and the New Odds.

This benefit CD entitled “Odd Squad & Company” On the Beat, Volume II, follows on the success of the first CD, which was released in the fall of 2005. The production costs have been funded by a grant from the “Peter and Joanne Brown Foundation”. Funds raised will assist the Odd Squad Productions Society as they continue to produce award winning multi-media products that serve as effective social marketing tools for today’s youth.
