Aly Tadros

Austin, TX

When Aly Tadros was offered her first paid gig, she had three original songs under her belt. The set called for two hours. She took it anyways.

    Yeeeaahuuhhhhhhh!!!

    We did it! We did it! We...oh hallelujah!

    I CANNOT begin to tell you how relieved (and shocked, to be honest) I start off my first day back in the studio with this lovely surprise! We've hit the $5,000 goal! And then some!

    It was also nice to inform my cellist & producer that they are, in fact, getting paid.

    You guys are amazing! Still a day and a half to raise extra funds - lord knows I'll put every last dollar to good use - so please continue sharing the good word!

    I luhhhuuuuvvvvv you and everyone else on the face of the earth today,
    Aly

    PS. Remember that contest I entered to win $20,000 in gear and recording? Because of you guys, I'm in the lead. Voting continues till Dec. 11, and I compete live in Austin on Dec. 18th for the grand prize. I believe in Santa! I believe!

    Sneak peak!

    Less than 10 days to go to raise $3,000!

    Checkout this EXCLUSIVE sneak-peak into the record. Attached is our rough-mix cut of "Sweet on Me". I head back into the studio next week, and the track is long from being finished. Contribute $50, and you'll receive exclusive pre-release cuts from the album, just like this one.

    Enjoy!

    Best,
    Aly

    Week 1: YES! $3,855 to go!

    Holy crap! 

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! The flood of funding and encouragement that's come in in the first few days of the campaign has been humbling! 

    As I write this...I'm sitting in a cafe in Berlin, at the tail end of my European tour with The Sweetness. I've been playing all around Germany and Switzerland NON-STOP for the last three weeks - with only one off day - to try and save up to cover the rest of this album. Every last penny I make on this tour goes towards recording as soon as I get home. 

    I'm astounded at everyone's generosity - but there's still a long way to go. I am trying to lay off the espresso (oh but it's so tempting here) and constantly click *refresh* on the Kickstarter Page. 

    If you have contributed, or cannot contribute and still want to help - there are a few ways you can spread the word: 

    1) Facebook! I've created an Event for my Kickstarter Page - so invite your friends HERE! 
    2) Share!Share!Share! Email or share the link to my Kickstarter Page: 
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alytadros/aly-tadros-sophomore-record-magical-zebra-sunshine
    3) Write the link on a thousand neon post-it notes and leave them on every door in the tri-state area.

    Personally, I would opt for options 1 & 2 - but by all means, get creative. 

    Warmly (or, attempting to stay so in Berlin), 
    Aly
