After over 2 years of playing out of Las Cruces, NM and outlying towns, it is finally time for me to begin working on my debut album!

Well I have been playing around the Las Cruces, NM area and other towns in New Mexico and Texas for about two and a half years now. I feel like I have come a long way during this time and, recently, began playing full-time as my profession. I continue to put a lot of effort into everything I do as a musician. However, at just about every show the one question I get asked is if I have a CD available for purchase and I always have had to say no. It's finally time for me to change that! I have no desire to create something low quality and cheaply made to sell at my shows. I have made the decision to put it all out there and create a full length, 11 song CD of all original music for my debut album. I am ready to put everything that I have into this project, and think that I have some great songs to make an eclectic, personal album. However, for me to achieve this I need your help. I have been able to raise some money for this project already, but I project that I still will need at least another $1200 to cover all of my costs. This number is just to cover my basic costs. If I can raise more than this number, then it will help to fund more duplicates of the CD, help me to travel a little bit after my release party to expand distribution, and help cover costs of album artwork and photography. If funds pledged expand past these costs, all other money will be used directly to bring a better live show. I would be able to purchase new gear, speakers, instruments, etc that would facilitate a better live show. Any amount pledged will be greatly appreciated and not forgotten. Every person that pledges will be mentioned in a special thank you section of the booklet in the CD. This Kickstarter page is a great way for me to do this because it allows me to turn around and give you a reward as a thank you for being such a great fan and contributing to this project. Thank you so much for your donation and I'll see you really soon at a show!

    All of the above rewards as well as I will write a song about the topic of your choosing and perform it at a live show for you. Write me a paragraph/list about your topic and I will run with it. Another option at this level is if you are a musician as well, I will sit down with you and work on song lyrics, progressions, or melodies with you for your songs. You will retain full creative rights from any work I perform on your songs.

    First of all, you are awesome! You will receive any and all rewards of your choosing. Also I will play a private show for any event of your choosing (dates will need to be discussed to ensure that I am not already booked on the date needed). No time limit on this private show, just will be there as long as you need and will make it a great time!
