Update #4: Sincere Thanks!
We made it! Sincere and humble thanks go out to all of our backers. We reached our goal thanks to the support of each one of you.
The Bearfoot Hookers are in Waycross this weekend and we are pleased to announce that we have copies of the new CD in hand... "Beer Drinkin' Gospel Revival" is finished. The CD sounds great and looks very very good.
We will be putting together the assorted gifts for distribution next week when we're back home.
Thanks again,
Mark Durfield
The Bearfoot Hookers
Update #3: Less than two weeks to go...
Dear friends and beloved supporters,
We are almost there... as I type we are at $1,685 in pledges which leaves us only $315 short of hitting our goal of $2,000. But we only have 13 days to go.
We greatly appreciate your support and your vote of confidence. The response has meant a lot to us and has helped keep us pushing towards completion of "Beer Drinkin' Gospel Revival".
Mixing is finished, mastering is finished, and the CD layout is finished (and includes some cool original artwork by our own Ty Manning). It sounds great and the package looks fantastic. But now we are facing the big expense of printing the art and pressing 1,000 CDs. We need your help to spread the word so that we can reach that $2,000 goal and bring this thing across the finish line.
Please help spread the word... send this link to your friends and enemies... http://kck.st/ccXITc
Almost there. Thanks again and we look forward to playing these new songs for all of you very soon.
Sincerely,
Mark Durfield
The Bearfoot Hookers
Update #2: Mixing Complete
Thanks to all of our supporters so far... we have reached 65% of our goal. But time is getting short. Please help spread the word.
Mixing was completed on Sunday and the complete album is currently in the hands of renowned mastering engineer Jeff Capurso. The final mixes sound great. We are busy working on CD layout and taking photos. Your support has kept us going. Thanks to all. Tell your friends and help us bring "Beer Drinkin' Gospel Revival" to completion on schedule.
Thanks... The Bearfoot Hookers
Update #1: Thanks for the help! Keep it coming!
Thanks to all of our "Backers", we have hit 30% of our funding goal in 24 hours. But we still have a long way to go. We appreciate everyone spreading the word. Let's keep the momentum going. If we get pledges exceeding the target amount, we might be able to upgrade the CD packaging to include more cool stuff.
We are mixing the new CD as I type. It sounds great and we are all very excited to finally be bringing a disc of new tracks to you, our loyal fans.
Thanks for your support,
The Bearfoot Hookers
