    HI Kickstarter Backers!

    Things have been extremely busy on my end. But i have EXCELLENT NEWS! I just got an email back from NPR (National Public Radio) today, and they'll be including me in their bi-annual intern music pick blog (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php...) this coming week!!!
    You are the first to know and I AM EXCITED!

    I will be sending over the 1st song from my new album - Sweeter.

    ***Well...I'm primarily emailing to ask you to please send in your name as you would like it listed in the liner notes if you haven't already. I'm sending all that artwork to a graphic designer on Monday...so i will need to have it asap.

    Thanks and God bless you all!
    -Joy
