      Yay! I knew you could do it! It was fun being on Kickstarter at the same time, from the same city, and both making it! I share your joy! Great work! Congrats! Can't wait to hear your tunes! -Mara

      graham a. parson is not a friend of mine. but i know him... and his parents (his mom has the best hair i tell you).

      with about 1/2-day left to go he has most of the project funded but needs to get another $2.5k+ to reach the goal of $10,000.

      it's an all or nothing thing... you only get the money if you raise the proposed amount. if he has not raised $10,000 or more, he gets nothing. that would be a shame knowing how graham is for real (read 'so passionate' and 'very soulful') about his music. this kid has got it going on.

      but worse yet folks, if he does not raise $10,000 you get nothing; if the project is funded and you have donated, you will get something... check the right of the page and see the various pledge levels and their corresponding 'rewards' or 'gifts' or whatever the hell they are called. there may even be one where you get to touch his mom's hair. take a look.

      so yeah, when he gets really famous he'll be a friend of mine. right graham?!?

      thanks for reading.

Graham

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Growing up on a farm in a tiny town in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, I always had dreams of traveling the world and sharing my talents. I started writing music and singing at age 14, and am now a full-time independent touring musician/recording artist with no plans to slow down. The last two years have sent me around the country multiple times with hundreds of shows played. Nothing makes me happier than writing and performing music. I can't imagine a more exciting and fulfilling path.
