Update #3: Home Church Road is coming soon... I promise!
To our generous benefactors...
Please don't think that we have forgotten you. I just got the CD's back from the plant and I am assembling the art work myself at home. Vinyl should be back in a couple of month and we're looking to get the Home Church Road album officially released in March 2011. You all should be receiving your rewards well before that. Please rest assured that I am working on getting all of this stuff together... it just takes time.
Thanks again for helping us out on this. Until the vinyl comes back, I am more or less playing the waiting game. But I will try to update you all with more news on the release when there is more to report. Sorry I haven't had a chance to make any more videos for you. My other band, Elf Power, just put out a record as well so I have been on tour and haven't had time for a video update. The tour will be over in December and I will try to get you one then.

Update #2: New Video Update + 1 week left to donate
That's right everybody... it's all winding down. This has been amazing and thanks again to all who pitched in. There's still a week left so this is the home stretch and the last chance you'll get to tell all of your friends how they can get in on the ground level by pre-ordering the new Folklore record right here and helping us release it. Thanks for your support.
We're also hitting the road for some tour dates in June. If you are in or near one of these cities please come to the show. We'd love to see you.
Love,
Jimmy & Folklore

Update #1: Folklore Lives!
This project is a total success! I can hardly believe it. Thanks to all of our very generous backers, we have already reached our fundraising goal with about 30 days still left to go. What does this mean? Well, it means that if anyone wants a copy of our new album or any of our other fun rewards then you still can pitch in and help us out. Our project can still accept donations until the deadline listed, so please help if you can. Anything donated beyond our goal is extra help that we can use towards things like touring, publicity, etc etc etc... so all donations help.
I put up a new video update so please check that out. It includes a music video that we made for the song "The Party" from the upcoming album Home Church Road. Enjoy!
And on behalf of all of Folklore, I want to sincerely thank all of you who have backed this project thus far. You guys are THE BEST! Thanks a million.
Until next time....
