The Little Village Foundation was founded in 2014 by Jim Pugh[1] as a 501(c)(3) organization based in Solvang, California.[2][3] Pugh is a veteran keyboard player who has toured the world with Robert Cray[4][5] and Etta James (see Stickin' to My Guns). Little Village Foundation (LVF) is non-profit company in the music industry that produces and distributes what it considers to be culturally significant recordings made by individuals and groups that might otherwise not be heard beyond the artists' community or family.[6][7]
The label serves an access point for previously overlooked artists who retain their intellectual property and album sales through their work with the organization.[8] The artists come from widely varied and sometimes non-traditional backgrounds. Pugh and his find and secure talent to sign and record, and several of the musicians have roots that extend to other nations, including Mexico, India, Russia and the Philippines.[9][10]
