The Tupelos are trying to finish our newest CD - "In the Red" but we need your help!

Hello Tupelos fans, family, and friends around the world!

Welcome to our Kickstarter fundraising page! As always, we appreciate your support for our group and our music!

We have been working on producing our next album, In the Red, for the past three semesters, and are hoping to release it next semester. However, before we can obtain the CDs, we need to pay for the recording sessions, mixing, mastering, and licensing rights, as well as the actual copy production. This cost totals around $7,500.  As of right now, we’ve spent every last red cent in our profits account…and, to be honest, we’re In the Red!

So far, we’ve fundraised enough to pay off the first $4,000 but we need extra support. That’s why we’re calling on our many fans to help us complete this long-awaited album, featuring members from as far back as the Class of 2010! We hope to have this album ready in time to submit songs to compilation CD contests, such as  BOCA: Best of College A Cappella and Voices Only. We’ve been featured on both of these compilations before, and it would be an honor to be included again!

WHERE YOU COME IN:

We are going to need ALL of your help to make this dream a real possibility. 

By contributing to our cause, you will help us towards paying off the massive costs of producing a professional a cappella album. Every pledge, even $5, is greatly appreciated, and will make a difference. Each pledge level comes with its own reward as our thanks to you, because your support means so much to us.  

Remember, even though our Kickstarter goal is set at $2,000, we really need about $3,500 to finish this CD. Every dollar donated past the $2,000 will only help to get us closer to the goal of paying off our bills, so we can finally bring In the Red to you!
