HOORAY!
Good morning, sweet friends!
Thank to you and your support, we have FUNDED the project! That's so exciting, but now it's time for me to kick into gear and make up my mind about which songs to record and start learning some fun cover tunes for the video series. So many fun things to do now, and all because of your financial support!
I really can't thank you enough, but I want you to know that it's a blessing to the team and me. A HUGE blessing. A massive, gigantic, monster blessing. I really can't explain.
At this point, any "extra" support will go directly into other much-needed projects: printing of press kits for promotional use, merchandise to sell on my website, some touring supplies (sound board for our Bose Tower PA, cables, a functional guitar stand, a collapsable table, proper signage, etc.), album packaging, proper lighting for our video shoots, recording equipment (ProTools, a better mic stand, etc.), and some MUCH-NEEDED business/office supplies for David and me to be able to better manage our music business. There are TONS of ways we can use these funds to benefit our musical career, and we appreciate every single gift. If you know anyone who might be willing to contribute still, please keep sharing my story and this link with them! It means the world to me and David and Jules and the WHOLE team!
I hope you have a fabulous day, and thank you ALWAYS!
~Anna
P.S. Attached are a couple fun photos from a photo shoot we did with Robby Klein awhile back. Robby will be shooting behind-the-scenes in the studio AND will be taking the photos for the album art. He's great. Check out his website! http://www.robbyklein.com

I'm very happy as well to find that the goal has been met, and hope that it's far exceeded in numbers to help with the extra items needed. The work you do to bring us the best possible music has always been appreciated and this was a great way to demonstrate that appreciation. Your last tour was amazing and seeing all of the videos from along the road made me feel like I was on the adventure with you. I look forward to the new CD and many more great things to come in the future.
