About this project
I want to record a new album. In 2007 I released my first, The Times Compiled (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-times-compiled/id266031301), which contained songs I'd written over the two or three years prior to that— my "Katrina years." I'd like to think those years are over. Now it's 2010, and I have songs I've written over the last three. I can't let them feel less special than the other songs, so I think they deserve a good recording session. And they deserve to be heard by people who want to hear them that can't attend my live shows. And that requires a gosh darn recording.
In the late summer and fall, I plan to get back into the studio with my lovable bunch of hooligan bandmates and put together a new album. I'd like to even pull a few other New Orleans musicians into the recording mix. Recording, mixing, producing, printing, copyrighting, distributing, and getting the dern word out all cost moneys. Moneys which I don't have.
I think generosity is something that often goes overlooked, and it appears Kickstarter does, too. So we're going to reward that generosity of yours by offering you the album, plus merch, plus more for your support. Your pledges will make the recording possible, and you'll also get a better deal on the album & merch. It's a win/win. I love win/wins, and I feel like they don't happen all that often. So, in a sense, this a very rare moment. A special one. One that bonds us together forever. [insert big hug here]
Please check any of the following sites to hear some songs I want to record professionally (like "Mr. Leopold," "Down to the River," "How Long Before You've Rounded the World?", etc.) or to just find out what's goin' on with the music:

Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on September 9, 2010.
Pledge $10 or more
Ten bones gets ya a copy of the completed album in CD form. If you don't like CDs, I'll send ya a digital version. Simple as that.
Pledge $15 or more
The outrageously good CD + a Kelcy Mae bandana. I love bandanas. Who doesn't love bandanas?
Pledge $25 or more
The outrageously good CD + a Kelcy Mae bandana + a Kelcy Mae t-shirt. It's time for a new t-shirt, don't ya think?
Pledge $50 or more
All of the above times two. Consider it the couple's special. OR, if you're not into dating... or if you just don't want your significant other wearing the same bandana or t-shirt... you can get all the above plus a hand-written and framed set of lyrics from your favorite kMae song. I'll number it 1/1. If you're familiar with my poems (those things I wrote to get myself a fancy MFA), and you'd rather one o' them, I can do that instead.
Pledge $100 or more
All of the above plus your name in the liner notes. 'Cause in a way... you're helping produce this little number. Think about how cool it'll be to put "Producer" on your resumé.
Pledge $500 or more
All of the above plus a song I write for you. Personally. And to prove I did it, I'll even stick it up on YouTube. We write about the things that inspire us, and if you donate this much money, you'll be one hell of an inspiration to me.
Pledge $1,000 or more
All of the above (which is A LOT-- have you noticed how much stuff that is?) plus your own private concert for you, your buddies, and/or family. I'd like to try and keep this one regional, as it might be hard for me to drag the bandmates up to Mohall, North Dakota. But if you're from Mohall, North Dakota, maybe you can visit us in New Orleans? I'm sure we can work something out.
