    European Opera Diva To Join DC On New CD!!

    Thank you to everyone who is supporting our Kickstarter Project!!  We still have a way to go to reach our goal and beyond.  We are currently at 69 backers, 77% funded at $15,606, and ONLY 45 days left to reach our goal and make this CD project possible!!  We are definitely looking forward to the House Parties!! Once we reach our goal, it doesn't end though, as you can still back the project until the deadline of December 19th at 12:07 pm and receive the great rewards that are available!!!  Many projects on Kickstarter have been funded beyond their goals & we are being inspired by your love and support to keep adding MORE new things to this project such as:

     

     Anna Maria Kaufmann

     

    Adding a NEW song to the project with European Opera Diva Sensation, Anna Maria Kaufmann singing with Del Castillo!!  Talk about crossover!!!  It's already sounding amazing and we haven't even finished the whole track yet!! Anna Maria is flying in to DC Headquarters to record soon!  We are all excited!

     

     

     Also, if you didn't hear the news off of our Facebook page & newsletter, we are adding THREE COVER SONGS to the CD Project as well,  along with videos recording the whole jam session in the studio!!  One of the songs has been leaked out, but the other two will be top-secret until the release!

    THREE MORE SONGS TO BE ADDED TO CD!!

    We've just decided to add three of our favorite COVER songs to this CD, as if there won't be enough content, and are very excited about them!  We will be tracking them LIVE in the studio and film the whole jam session to add ANOTHER video to this project!  Are we crazy? The first person to guess one of the songs that we will be recording will get on the guest list for the next DC show of their choice!  We're feeling the love from you and thank you so much for your support!  We still have a way to go to reach our goal, but it feels awesome knowing that our fans are behind us!  More to come soon!  Don't forget to tell your friends and family about our Kickstarter project!

        I'm hoping for the song from the "Desperado" movie Morena de mi Corazon or Cancion del Mariachi I think it's called. The others could be the "Godfather" movie theme and maybe Malagueña Salerosa.
