Update #12: Guess what I am doing right now?
Starting to busily writing all those postcards I promised you!!
They arrived today, and I am thrilled to sit down and write to each and every one of you! My New Years resolution this year was to write more letters, so thank you for getting me off my butt to do that in bulk. I think I have written about four letters so far and have been feeling slightly guilty over my lack of dedication at staying in touch in what is the best way of communicating across the Seas (& States).
Have you sent me your address yet? (Even those of you who opted for no reward!). I can't wait to write these and send them on their way. Your first reward! The next won't be too far behind (the download of the song Memories Remembered), and then THE ALBUM & all the other goodies. Been getting ready to record! Stay tuned!
The only thing missing here is the wine. But don't worry, I think I will pop down and get some now & set about the correspondence.. How is that for a lovely Autumn evening? (Ah, THE BEST!).

Update #11: Pinch me.
WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I can' believe how much fun this has been. How awesome it has been to be a part of this Kickstarter campaign. You all made it the success it was, and through your love and support (which I know has forever gone far beyond any sort of money) I can keep going with my dream. I can't express how good that makes me feel.
NEW ALBUM ON ITS WAY! Woohoo!

Update #7: New Song video & Week 2 update
This is totally insane! What you are all doing to this campaign!! Way to show that goal!! ANOTHER $2000 this week? (Ok, not quite! But close enough, my friends!). I am so excited (And I just can't hide it!). Every time I speak another reference to a song comes out, and yes, I am literally singing those references. My life is song these past two weeks. More than normal!
Just wanted to let you know that I uploaded a new song to my YouTube channel. It's a (relatively) new song - will it be on the album? You'll have to wait and see!
Oh, and meet Des! He will be joining me on double bass on the album (& guitar on the video here). He is an old friend of mine from Perth, who also calls New York home these days.

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Nerissa Campbell was born in Australia and grew up in towns along the coast of Western Australia and on the island of Bali. Her family settled in the capital city of Perth where Nerissa attended the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, earning a degree in Jazz.
In 2001, following a trip to California where she was invited to perform at the Stanford Jazz Festival, Nerissa moved to New York City. She began writing Paint Me Orange while living in Brooklyn. The album was recorded and released in the fall of 2003. Hailed as “innovative”, “risk-taking”, and “incredible” by RadioioJazz and JazzNow, Paint Me Orange went on to sell out of its original pressing. Nerissa’s second album, Musings of a Telescopic Tree was described by Time Out London as full of “smoky-voiced songs of good bourbon and bad love affairs.” Marcin Kubicki of Audio Magazyn in Poland characterized the album as “Moving. A personal,interesting and intimate album.”
Since living in New York, Nerissa has performed in venues ranging from underground clubs to concert halls and has been invited to music festivals in Australia, the US, Singapore, the Netherlands, and South America. In addition to performing her own material, Nerissa has collaborated with the post-metal band A Storm of Light, the Balinese gamelan group Dharma Swara, and has been a part of performative literary readings, modern dance pieces, off-Broadway plays, and a 32-piece orchestra.
