About this project
*****UPDATE*****
We've Reached Our Goal, but we can still use your help!
Update #1 posted 6 days ago edit this post
Hello All!
Thank you so much for making this happen! We are officially over the goal and have been humbled and touched by everyone's support! Though we have reached our goal, we can still use any pre-orders or pledges from anyone who hasn't pledged yet. The overage funds will be used for:
-Marketing
-Videos (Studies now show that booking agents go directly to Youtube for booking, and we are drastically under represented in terms of video)
-CD Release Party Promotion
-Merchandise
-Tour Funds
We are so looking forward to releasing this album, and thank you so much everyone for making it happen!
So much Love!

Hello Everyone,
After many starts and stops and lessons learned, we have finally completed the recording phase of our first full length album, "Dead Woman Walkin" in Marietta, GA with our good friend BJ Richardson. The album features 12 new tracks that paint a picture of our version of the American dream.
As many of you know, Megan Jean & The KFB have been a full-time DIY touring band for 3 years now, and like many working artists, we lack the capital to fully realize our project. We are reaching out to you to raise funds for the mastering and printing of our album.
Our sincere thanks for checking out our project, and in turn, supporting truly independent music.
If you would like to know more about us, or listen to some of our older recordings, please feel free to visit our sites.
Thanks for the support,
Megan Jean and Byrne Klay

Hard-touring, foot-stompin', guitar beatin, upright lickin, washboard scratchin,' banjo pickin' madness with a voice like the devil herself.
Charleston, SC-based duo Megan Jean & the KFB arrange a demented blend of gypsy, circus, americana, and the avant-garde that has been captivating audiences all over America. The pair met in New York City in 2004 and quickly became disillusioned with the music-mill mentality that dominates the concrete jungle. Feeling lost in the shuffle, Jean and Klay decided to sell all their possessions, quit their day jobs, and hit the road full-time, focusing on the Southeast. Fourteen shows turned into 200 a year and a newfound home-base in Charleston's burgeoning music community. While on the road, the pair forged their unique sound, which has been described as "...a wealth of gorgeous tunes that brilliantly [merge] American roots music with exotic elements of Euro/gypsy styles." (T. Ballard Leseman, Charleston City Paper) Calling the road home on a "never-ending tour" with an anchor firmly planted in the Lowcountry, this transient duo has taken DIY lifestyle and transformed it into a kind of Voodoo that unites scenes, fans, bands, clubs and musical styles-all without the help of a label and fueled by sheer guts and know how.
