    Campaign closing Wed. - Thank you!

    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to say a final, incredibly heartfelt thank-you for all your support! My Kickstarter campaign will close in a couple days, and I'm so grateful for your help in donating and spreading the word so that my album can exist. THANK YOU!

    I've already been back to the studio to listen through what we got down, and soon we'll move along with the final stages of the album-making process. I plan to throw a CD release party sometime in the late summer and hope you'll be there!

    In the meantime, I'm migrating my updates to my new music blog: http://juliabarrydoesmusic.blogspot.com. Hope you'll join me there so I can let you in on musicky news before anyone else ;)

    Bazillions of thanks and virtual hugs. (Rewards coming soon!) You are truly fabulous.
    Julia
    p.s. And just for one last hurrah...If anyone you know's been wanting to chip in or tell some friends who want to chip in, now's the time! May 5th is the last day (unless you want to mail me a check, which of course, is timeless ;)

    It's game time.

    Recording's been a whirlwind but it's going really well! Just sharing some pics before I crash for the night and do it all again tomorrow.

    Yay. :)

    You are so generous!

    From the anonymous "friend" donor to newbies who I have no idea who found me, who *are* all these incredibly generous people?! I'm so curious, thrilled, and grateful to everyone who not only pledged but also to everyone who's spreading the word or who's stumbled across my page and found it worthwhile.

    Today's full band rehearsal flew by, and we're at it again tomorrow. This is it before we hit the studio! The more this project progresses, the more excited I get about it. I'm finally recording with live, talented musicians (as seen in accompanying low-qual phone camera pic) and not settling for anything short of the our best shot. I'm also loving working with the producer, Ben Lindell--it's truly so helpful and inspiring to have a coordinating brain and all-seeing eye (or should I say all-hearing ear?).

    I know I keep saying thank you, but I'm saying it again...thank you so much! Every additional $250 we raise will add a track to the album set list, so let's keep this "Turn the EP into an album" contest going!

    xoxo

    p.s. If you're in the NY area, come say hi at my next gig! It's this Wed. 3/17 @ 8pm, Sullivan Hall [http://sullivanhallnyc.com]
