Birmingham, Alabama's Skybucket Records formed in the summer 2002 to release a CD sampler of local music. After the success of that initial release, Skybucket continued to grow, concentrating on signing local musicians and independently releasing their recordings. Three years after that first compilation, Skybucket Records over ten releases under its belt, with several more planned in the near future. Thanks to considerable local and regional attention, Skybucket is slowly expanding into national markets. Skybucket Records is an independent recording label with respect for both music as an art form, and the musicians who create it. More concerned with artistic growth and musical exposure than commercial success (though that would be nice), Skybucket is growing rapidly, promoting talented artists without compromising artistic vision.
