Two years later we're recording our next album, and we need your help! Any donation will be met with eternal gratefulness! We love you!

And with five days to go....we've reached our goal!!!!

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so grateful, so humbled, and beyond ecstatic not just about the money, but to know we have so much love and support out there! There will be a little bit of every single one of you in this new record :)

Of course the goal we've been aiming for is the bare minimum, and doesn't begin to cover all the costs of making this record, so we will still be promoting the campaign right up until the very last minute. Any extra money we get will help us record more songs, help with promotion, allow us to hire a PR firm, cover the Kickstarter fee that is taken, and even the costs of making the video you've been watching!

A simple "thank you" would never begin to cover the amount of love and gratitude we feel towards every one of you...so we're really excited to get these prizes out to everyone!

You guys are the best :)

Hey guys! It's hard to believe that it's been over two years since we released our last CD, Wake the Hero. The time has flown by, but not without some major things happening. Here's a little recap:

~Play all over the country and tour Europe twice.  Check.

~Share the stage with Norah Jones, Chris Hillman, amongst other amazing musicians. Check.

~Awesome new fans? Check. (PS Thank YOU for that).

~Win a songwriting contest that affords us a new tour vehicle and a beautiful new Gibson. Check.

~Experience unsurpassed joy, heartbreak, laughter and tears...all of which have contributed to a bunch of new songs that we're so excited to share with you all? Absolutely. Check, check, check.

So what's next?  We have an incredible recording studio lined up, crazy/talented musicians, the best mixing engineer EVER (Beck, Jack White and the Fleet Foxes agree), tons of new songs...and a teeny tiny budget.

We have never liked asking for help...that's why we didn't have any on our last record. And that's why we're still paying it off, almost three years later. Our life is dedicated to making music and presenting it to our fans and friends, always hoping that we're helping to connect people. It's about making magic through sound, and bringing whatever tiny bit of joy we can in a world filled with a lot of craziness.

Whatever amount you can send will be met with eternal gratitude! Check out all the prizes we have to reward your generosity... And if we exceed our limit (fingers crossed, no pressure) the extra money will go towards CD promotion, printing up super cool merch, music videos, radio promotion and publicity. We also promise to throw in a bunch of extra surprises and rewards for you guys... because you're the reason all this is happening in the first place. :)

Okay guys, let's do this... let's go make a record!!!

Love,

Becky & Nathan (aka Barnaby Bright) www.barnabybright.com
