Who'd have thought that making an album could be so much fun! Discover great new music and be a part of something BIG!
As seen on the PBS special "Tommy Emmanuel and Friends Live at the Balboa" in the US and England, Anthony Snape can be heard on NBC and ABC in America and in retail stores throughout Australia and Europe. Anthony is a multi-award winning performer and writer. A detailed list of Anthony's accomplishments can be found at the bottom of this page.
Hey I'm Anthony Snape, I'm making a new album and want your help to make it happen in a BIG way! This is no ordinary album, you know why? Because you're already a part of it by reading this page. It's the power of people making things happen, creating something beautiful from scratch, doing something worthwhile and lasting. This will be an incredible journey and I'm excited that you are a part of it! After touring the US for the last four years and pouring my heart into this new collection of songs, I'm ready to get back into the studio.
Are you ready? OK lets go!
In just 30 days we will be raising more than $20,000 to fund this record. The money will go towards a producer, musicians, studio time, promotion and production and delivery of packages to your doorstep. This is our goal, the minimum amount it costs to make a great record. It will be an amazing feat to reach our goal but we don't have to stop there! Every cent above our goal will go into making the album and packages even better for you!!
Down the right side of this page you'll find a list of unique packages. You can find everything from a pre-release download of the finished album to personal performances in your home. There are personalized songwriting sessions, signed album artwork for your walls and you can even have me sing a quick video message to you or a friend and have YOUR name in the album credits! There is something here for everyone!! And you know these packages make great gifts :)
The most important thing you can do after becoming a backer, is to tell your friends. Start small, talk to two of your closest friends and get them involved. Everything that you do counts. Every new friend that becomes a backer opens up the opportunity for more people to hear the music and become involved.
Pledge as much as you desire and the more you give the more you receive as well as being a part of something inspired that will have an ongoing legacy.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We have only 30 days to raise $20,000 or more and if we don’t make our goal then no one gets charged and the project won't go ahead.....
But I know we can do it :) I can't wait to get into the studio and give you one of the most amazing albums yet!!
How do you get involved?
Step 1. Choose your package from the list on the right, become a backer.
Step 2. Celebrate by telling at least two of your closest friends personally about the project. Call them or visit to encourage them to get involved.
Step 3. Watch this page and your inbox for updates on the project as I'll be sharing all the great things that happen along the way!
Engage everyone you know, your friends, tell your family, tell the world about this project and lets make something happen!
