Irish flute player/singer Shannon Heaton brings exquisite skill, heart, and sass to the music she writes and performs. Irish American News dubbed her 2009 Female Musician of the Year, and LiveIreland named her latest album with husband Matt Heaton “Trad Fusion Album of 2010.” Fresh, fun, fabulous.
As far as I'm concerned, you guys are all major patrons of the arts. It's this direct backing--on any and all levels--that has made it possible for me to finish "The Blue Dress." Everybody here has built a new and unique Irish flute CD; and I'm grateful and humbled by the show of support. My deep thanks.
I'm pretending I'm a minor patron of the arts today :-) It reminds me of that old Shake N Bake commercial? The one where the little girl exclaims "And I Helped!"
Congratulations! Looking forward to the CD...thanks for giving all of us a chance to be part of this.
Congratulations Shannon! You are an inspiration, and you look stunning in that dress!
Congratulations, Shannon. Looking forward to your new album.
Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing the album :-)
I'm guessing that many of us supporters enjoyed the kickstarter process almost as much as you did. Felt like a treasure hunt--watching the tally as it crept toward the goal. And it was great craic to connect with friends (and wrack my brain to think of other potential supporters) to point them toward this project and then watch their names pop up as backers. What a great way to build a community of interest!
Yea! You made it.
So close, I feel this shall happen!
Thanks, Yukon. So sweet to know that I have the support of one of Boston's best luthiers and repair persons!
Good luck Shannon!
can't wait to see you--and all the nice Celtic College gang--in Goderich in just a few weeks. Thank you so much for your support, Mark.
I'm attending Celtic College in Goderich next month and will be taking classes from both you and your husband. I found this while looking you guys up on the internet. What a brilliant idea! I hope you meet your goal and look forward to meeting you in person.
Rock on little dude!
Thanks, Sandra. And thanks so much everybody. What a lovely experience to make an album with the support of friends old and new. I'm grateful to Kickstarter for this vibrant, interactive process!
Enjoyed your concert at the Skye last night and in Rangeley the night before. Already having the 4 CD's you and Matt have done together, I thought this would be a great way to thank you for magic you brought to Maine this week.
and even the $5 one comes with dig download of just one track...
Good question, Matt. And sorry this isn't clear. YES, all pledges come with dig. download.
Silly question time. The $15 pledge comes with a digital download. Do the other, higher amounts come with a dd as well?
Shannon!
What a great idea! I will see you at Goderich and congratulate you at that time for success in raising the required funds for the BLUE DRESS ALBUM. Now, if you auction off the actual dress as a kicker to this effort I am sure you could raise even MORE money:)
Kickstarter is a great example of Pt0P financing and very interesting from the perspective of arts related entrepreneurship, which I like to teach in my business classes. So that is what I will want to ask about in August!
I am also interested because my son is at the Kansas City Art Institute and raising money for his ART FARM project http://artfarmdelasalle.wordpress.com/. Kickstarter might be a very good option for him!
THanks for sharing!
