Inspired by summers in the Pacific Northwest, Airport Way illuminates the fringe of Seattle music through their Island Rock lens.

Hello everyone!  Thanks so much for checking out our project and taking the time to understand our goals. And just in case you didn't catch what our lovely narrator said, here it is in written word.

Narration:

"Ok then, I will take it from here.  While the guys plan their cinematic masterpiece, I will summarize their true intentions for this film. Over the past few months Airport Way has been rehearsing and recording songs for their debut album. While the physical recording is almost done they need help wrapping up the small details in releasing the finished product. Costs ranging from the mastering of the tracks to the design and reproduction of the album are beginning to add up. This is where your kindness and generosity come in, and I personally ask for your financial assistance. And just in case the reward of charity isn't enough, the band has put together a host of incentives and thank you gifts. Besides receiving a copy of the album and other physical merchandise, you could also be eligible for some limited artwork and private shows.
I will speak on the band's behalf regarding their excitement of releasing this album. They can't stop talking about how much they are looking forward to the album's release and sharing it with their friends, family and fans. They think the album will fit very well with the best days that Summer has to offer and will hopefully embody those memories throughout the rest of the year. So, please take a minute to listen to their music and another minute to read the accompanying words and decide for yourself if this is a project worth funding."

Here is the breakdown of our costs and projected expenses.

-Studio time for recording and mixing: $3150.00

-Mastering the album: $650.00

-Album artwork and duplication: $1000.00

-Marketing materials (shirts, stickers, posters, etc): $1500.00

Total Cost: $6,300.00

Our personal contribution: $2,300.00

We sincerely thank you for the time you've already invested in this project and are honored by any monetary contributions you choose to make.  We're very proud of the music we've made and cannot wait for you to hear it.  Here is a new track from the album for your listening enjoyment!

Here's our logo that will be used for the shirt design.  You will have an opportunity to choose color and size at a later date should you choose that as a reward.
