About this project

Hello! I am Leslie Keffer, for those of you who don't know who I am , I am a musician from Nashville, TN and I make records! I have been releasing music for almost ten years now and most recently, I recorded a full length cassette tape due out on No Kings tape label later this year. So here is where I need YOUR help- I'm starting a Kickstarter so I can raise enough money to press 500 copies of the 12" dance single from the record, "Finally, Caves (Joy Dance)" w/ "Luna Loblolly" at Nashville's vinyl record pressing plant, United Record Pressing. I will also be making a music video for the song "Finally, Caves!" with local director, Seth Graves. You can stream the song for free here. Your pledges will cover the the cost of pressing and releasing the LP, and the making of the music video, which because of the song's length, will be a mini-movie! I'm offering all levels of pledges and all sorts of great rewards, such as test presses and limited edition split-color vinyl copies of the "Finally, Caves!" LP, my previous albums and releases in mp3 form, all of my other available LPs, dreamcatchers and stained glass candle-holders embellished with quartz crystals that I made and designed myself, an opportunity to appear in the music video you are backing, and more! So please, if you can support my project, I will be forever thankful. (Remember: Every $1 does count!) I won't be able to do this without you guys, so allow me to thank you in advance for your support and your pledges! Lots of love and total gratitude, Leslie Keffer
