    Taking A Moment To Regroup

    Once again, I'd like to thank everyone for participating in this project. I wanted to take a minute to regroup and think about what to do next. I decided to take the advice of my friend Chris Burnett and break the project up into several smaller (and less expensive) parts, so I'll soon be launching the At What Age CD Project (for making the actual discs) and the At What Age Promotional Project to get the word out when it's released!

    More info to come!! Stay tuned...

    ALL DONE!!

    Well, the AT WHAT AGE Kickstarter Project is now finished and, as you can see, we did not reach our target amount. I'd really like to thank everyone who pledged for supporting me in this project and I'll be sure to let you all know what the next move is.

    Thanks again for your support. It means a great deal to me.

        Well, you have proven that you can raise over $1k! Hmmm... Perhaps, you can now set up another KS project and just use $1k as your goal limit - five times!?!

    In The Home Stretch - 6 Days Left

    Well! Here we are with less than a week left in the "At What Age" project. So far, we have just over $1100 pledged to fund the completion of my third CD "At What Age" and need another $3900 or so to make this project a success. I'll be reaching out to everyone again in this final week (starting with this update) and urging you to "take the plunge" pre-order the CD and back this project.

    Your pledge (of ANY amount) will 1. HELP ME reach my target! 2. GET YOU the fun and exclusive rewards listed on my project page (including the finished album of course) and 3. SUPPORT NEW MUSIC that you want in your hands. You'll also be the first to have the music, even before it's public release date. The amount you give is not disclosed - and every amount helps. The deadline is May 22nd. Will we succeed? Back the project NOW to make it happen!

    Please do share this effort with any friends who like my work and may want to support this campaign. Help fund the final mixing, mastering, design, production and marketing of the new album. Nobody's pledge gets charged and nobody gets fun prizes unless we meet our $5,000 goal by May 22nd, so tell everyone you know!!!!!

    $1000!!!

    Just a quick note to let you all know how much I appreciate your support with this project. Today, with 9 days left to go, we broke $1000 in pledges for "At What Age". That's very exciting and, I hope, a sign of increased momentum! I'd especially like to welcome the newest members to our project "family". Thank you for your support.

    At What Age is mostly recorded and ready for mixing, mastering and duplication. There are, of course, a few fixes I'd like to do and I think everyone will really like this glimpse into my little universe.

    Thank You.

    AT WHAT AGE Project Spring Update

    I thought it was about time for a quick update to let you know what’s happening with my Kickstarter project to fund my third CD, “At What Age”. Just to refresh everyone’s memory, Kickstarter.com is a wonderful new website that allows friends, family, fans and other interested parties to help bring new creative work to life. Artists have completed everything from films to books to CD projects with funding from their own fan base through Kickstarter.com.

    I want to thank everyone who has pledged towards the completion of the CD. With just under 30 days to go, we are steadily moving towards the $5000 goal with $785 pledged, but there is still a long way to go! The target amount reflects costs for recording, manufacturing and promotion, so if you’ve been thinking about pledging but put it off, come on and join us. There are lots of incentives to get involved, from a pre-release digital copy of the CD to having your name in the liner notes as an Associate or Executive Producer. Also, please spread the word and let people know what we’re doing here. If you know people who are fans of creative, independent art, tell them about Kickstarter. It’s a great way for people who want to get directly involved to support the art and artists than move them.

    50 Days To Go!!

    Just a quick update to thank everyone who has pledged so far. You guys rock! We've got about 50 days left and we're at about 8% funded. I'm really excited about being able to get this CD finished and released so, if you can, spread the word about the At What Age Project so we can make this thing happen!!
