IDOL live CD!

In 2005, for the first time in Nebraska Pride IDOL history, a professional CD recording was offered. Made possible by the generous sponsorship of Bassline Studios in Omaha, the CD featured ALL the 2005 finalists, Nebraska Pride IDOL 2005 Jeremy Young, and Nebraska Pride IDOL 2004 Misty Stokes!

Tim Cich, owner of Bassline Studios was excited to be able to offer the services of the studio to help raise additional funds for Nebraska Pride IDOL. Because of the studio's generosity, over $500 was raised from the sale of the CDs. www.basslinestudio.com

The Season 3 CD was made possible by the generous sponsorship of 1NE Studio in Omaha. Alfonzo Jones, owner of 1NE Studio is very pleased to be able to help the Foundation as well as Camp Kindle with this project by offering the studio's recording time and services. www.1nestudio.com

Again, in 2007 1NE Studio owner Alfonzo Jones stepped forward and offered his studio's time and services to make the 3rd "live" CD a reality.

100% of the proceeds from the IDOL "live" CD collection goes to the Kids of Camp Kindle to help further their week's experiences at Camp!

You can purchase your own copy of the CD in our IDOL Store - wiithout leaving the website! All CDs have a suggested $10 donation.
