We're recording our first full length album this fall. We need a little help from our friends to make that happen!
I've been writing and performing my own songs for years, but I've never recorded a full length album. I've been able to record two small EPs for free. Now I want to create something more complete and more substantial. But in order to do that, I need some support from you. By funding my project, you're giving me the opportunity to fulfill a personal goal and to share my music with you and others. I'm grateful for any level of support you can give me!
Check out my plans and rewards below. You can listen to and download my most recent EP on bandcamp. Like us on facebook if you'd like to hear about upcoming shows and events.
Personnel
- Liz Ciavolino, singer-songwriter, harp & piano
- Dane Galloway, guitar & bass
- Mary Ferrillo, viola
- Joel Sephy, accordion
- Alex Nowak, bass
Studio
I will be recording at Lucumi Studios in D.C. with producer Max Lorenzen. I worked with Max and Lucumi Studios last year when I recorded the EP All My Charm and Grace and I'm excited to continue working with them.
Time Line
- August: Promoting the kickstarter and album. We'll be performing in Baltimore, New York, DC, and Philly in the next month. (Details here: www.facebook.com/lizandthelostboys/events)
- September-January: Arranging and Recording
- February-March: Mixing and Mastering
- April: Duplication. If you fund this project, you'll receive your copy of the album in April, pre-release.
- May: Official Release show and party in Philly! Stay posted for details. As a funder, you're especially invited to come celebrate with us!
Budget
The cost of recording is $3,000. I will need another $500-$750 for mastering and duplication. Additionally, I will be paying $300 for Kris Mukai to create the artwork for the album. The ideal budget is $4,000.
$3,000 will get me started, but it will not cover the entire cost. I expect to fund part of this myself but the more we can raise here the easier it will be!
Rewards
Whale doodles are done in watercolor for you especially. T-shirts are navy blue with glow-in-the-dark ink. Songs will be recorded and sent to you via e-mail.
Note on shipping: If you live in the Philadelphia area, I can give you non-album rewards at the time you fund us. Anything that needs to be mailed will be shipped to you with the album in April.
