A group of talented acts from Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records/Parlophone have all teamed up for a cover version of Bob Dylan's timeless song, 'Shelter From The Storm'. Recorded from their respective homes to raise money for Help Musicians UK and Music Cares (US). 

The rendition comes in the form of a music video available on Atlantic Records' YouTube page featuring Joe Newman and Gus Unger-Hamilton from alt-J, Grouplove, Jealous of the Birds, Briston Maroney, Benjamin Scheuer and Sofia D’Angelo from MICHELLE. 

About the fundraiser, alt-J said in a statement, “It’s lovely to get to play music with musicians on the same label as us; some of whom we know, some of whom we don’t. It was a new challenge recording this at home separately, even separately from each other, but we think the result is lovely and we hope that it brings a smile to people’s faces at this tricky time.”
