UPDATE!!!

We are so surprised. Thanks to your efforts we have exceeded our goal in the short span of THREE DAYS! We are both humbled and thrilled by your enthusiasm for the album. At this rate we may be able to go on tour by the end of the month!

Thanks again so very much! 

Love,

Boy And Bean

    After three years of playing your grand dad's classics, Portland's favorite 3-piece group is putting together their debut album "Boy And Bean."

     

    With your help it could be released this April!

    Featuring Yesteryear's greatest track list:

    ⁃ All of Me ⁃ Smoke Rings ⁃ Crying My Heart Out For You ⁃ Sweet Savannah Sue ⁃ Sweet Sue ⁃ Tonight you Belong To Me ⁃ When I Get Low I Get High ⁃ After You've Gone ⁃ Everybody Loves My Baby ⁃ Moanin' For You ⁃ What A Little Moonlight Can Do ⁃ Walking Stick ⁃ Jungle Fever ⁃ Dedicated To You

    $2,000 is all we need to put this thing out! That will take care of licensing, duplication, engineering and studio time.
