About this project
Sean Slade (producer of Dresden Dolls, Radiohead.....etc) is excited to work with me and I am REALLY excited to work with him. We are mutual fans and this is one of those moments where all my hard work seems to be paying off with a great opportunity (for more hard work!)
Sean has graciously found a way to make the recording as cheap as possible for me, but it's still more money than I have. So I'm kickstarting my recording with a tiny little fundraiser for this one day of recording with an amazing producer!
After this one day of recording Sean and I will spend the next few months planning the next phase which will lead to an album (or two!)
I need $500 at the very minimum to make this work, any more money donated will go into the album fund and will help more than I can possibly express.
Since my home is filled with amazing things I have decided to send care packages to those who care and support my musical career. I wish I could spend all day everyday making packages since it is such a rewarding thing to do for others. And I hear I send great packages!
On the side bar to the right you will see the various rewards you will get for donating - beyond my eternal gratitude and your own satisfaction at helping create the world you want to live in by supporting the art that makes the world tolerable, vital, beautiful.
