Update #1: Thanks to all our supporters!!
When setting this "bottom line" monetary goal, we had to be strategic. We wanted to set it higher, but had we set it higher and fell even 1 dollar short, we would have gotten nothing!
My hope is that folks will keep up the momentum by continuing to donate and spreading the link among groups, sites, friends, co-workers, acquaintences, people you met on the street, or anyone else and reach our goal and hopefully go well past it to get this release done right!
If we can make it to $8000- $9000, we'd have the funds to make a real professional style national release!

The Mountain Music Project’s mission is to encourage the preservation of musical traditions in rural and under-served communities throughout the world, with a special focus on mountainous regions. Our activities include cultural exchanges and expeditions, multimedia documentation, and supporting local cultural preservation organizations.
The Mountain Music Project was started by Jake Penchansky, Tara Linhardt, and Danny Knicely. Jake had experience traveling the world as radio producer and "guerilla ethnomusicologist;" recording traditional music around world. A professional bluegrass musician originally from the hills of Virginia, Tara lived and studied in Nepal as an undergraduate and gained a deep understanding of the language and culture. Danny is a 4th generation Appalachian musician with an uncommon musical gift of being able to play almost anything he hears on almost anything with strings. These three combined forces and created 2 great projects: an award-winning documentary film and a collaborative CD with traditional musicians from Nepal and renowned bluegrass and old time musicians in the US.
