Can We Get Together

Can We Get Together is a charity compilation album benefiting those affected by the assassination attempt on congresswoman Gabby Giffords. The project was the creative vision of University of Arizona law student Robert Current to benefit the victims that didn't have insurance, with proceeds to Homicide Survivors of Tucson. The album featured 117 Southern Arizona musicians, plus various local Tucson studios, engineers, and producers, and was released through the iTunes Store, Amazon.com and in a double CD with national distribution on March 14, 2011 through unknown indie label CoSeismic Records. Later that year the concept was taken by Luz de Vida, another album featuring some of the same artists as Can We Get Together.

The album features a wide range of music from University of Arizona music professors performing classical works, to local Tucson musicians performing styles including rap, hip-hop, punk rock, Christian, blues, big band swing, reggae, folk, adult contemporary, and mariachi music. Many of the artists had a close personal connection to the 2011 Tucson shooting, and several songs were written specifically about the shooting.
