Hello, Wonderful You! Thank you for joining me here.
Writing and performing for children and their fine families is one of the greatest joys of my life. I never expected to be a children's musician, but here I am, I am APRIL EIGHT and I truly love it. My songs are about fairies, pixies, and the fantastical natural world and L-O-V-E!
Lately I've been writing songs about Winter - birds flying south, goblins and fairies celebrating the solistic, the quiet beauty of snowflake fairies, the sweet slumber of animals in their dens awaiting the call of Spring... you get the picture. I have a celebration of songs to share with you and this Kickstarter project is for all those practical needs that creating an EP calls out for that I can't do on my own: funding the artwork, a few musicians and a wee bit of studio time, manufacturing and promotion.
I have the plans well-laid, the songs written, the tracks at home in progress, and now I just need that bit of funding to pull this project from my fanciful mind out into our soon-to-be Wintery World.
Thanks for your time and attention. Anything helps as it all adds to the whole. I appreciate you.
Please do share my Kickstarter project with your friends and families.
Hooray! You know how I love you!

Project By
Connected as April Combs Mann (672 friends)
April Eight is the fairy child of musician April Combs of Honneycombs. One evening while April was all snuggled up with her dear little daughter, a band of pixies came marching right across the pages of the book they were reading. April wondered what this band might sound like and, of course, it came right to her! She could hear their silly, wild and sweet songs in her head. Why the very moment April put pen to paper and hand to strings, new songs came pouring out.
April has been a musician for what might, to some, seem like a long time. Making music is her favorite thing to do in the whole world. She has performed on stages all over the world and even been on MTV. She thinks following your dreams is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Besides listening to fairy and goblin music. And dancing around. And laughing. But besides that, following your dreams is on the other top of the list.
