Waterbug Records

Waterbug Records

Waterbug Records is a small independent record label based in Evanston, Illinois specializing in singer-songwriters and traditional folk musicians who do original research. The label was founded as an artist cooperative label in 1992 by singer-songwriter Andrew Calhoun.Winters, Pamela Murray, "Linen Lites: Andrew Calhoun - Call Me 'Colquhoun'", "Dirty Linen", 112, June-July 2004, p.14-15] [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=18775 "Bound to Go": Illuminating Legacy of African American Folk Tradition"] , "All About Jazz", May 23, 2008] Calhoun described the label in a column written for "Sing Out!": "Waterbug is largely an artists' co-op. All the artists own their recordings and publishing rights. In a very real sense, the label cannot be bought. Cooperative efforts include artists selling each other's recordings from the stage, sharing gigs, etc. Twenty artists contributed a song and part of the cost of manufacturing a label sampler, which each of us sell from the stage for $5. We are working cooperatively to help each other get heard."Calhoun, Andrew, "Hey Rube!: Success", "Sing Out!", 41:2 August-October 1996, p.110-111]
