About this project
Annalivia is a folk-fusion string-band from the Boston area that has been in business for a few years and has recently undergone a lineup change. We are revamping our sound, bringing it back home to our American roots, while still allowing our multitude of influences to be present. Each band member brings impeccable musicianship, thorough training in his/her instrument, stellar arranging abilities, and overall stylistic versatility and innovative sensibilities. This project will be our third album to date, and will consist of original songs and tunes as well as adapted traditional material. Twin fiddles, driving guitar, flat–picking, mandolin, and strong vocals are what can be expected– with some surprise guest artists in the mix.
The Kickstarter funds will cover the following costs: Studio time, mixing and mastering, graphic design, manufacturing and duplication costs, promotional materials such as posters and stickers, and producer and guest artist fees.
When you contribute, you get to pick an amount and a reward bracket. If we don't reach our goal, your credit cards will not be charged and no rewards will be sent out and the album might not get made– we wouldn't want that to happen! So let's work together and spread the word– every little bit counts.
Thank you so much for helping us to keep music at the forefront in our communities and our lives, and for your support of our project. Here's to taking folk music to the next level!
