Brittain Ashford is making her next record with some friends... and YOU! by Brittain Ashford

About this project

The time has come! For the last year I've been obsessing about making my next record: Kitten Teeth. The Songs are written, we're slated to record, so all we need is a little bit of money to actually press and promote the darn thing.

We've set out goal at a modest $5000. This is just going to cover the mastering and physical pressing of record as well as all art and packaging associated. If we surpass this goal, we're hoping to shell out some money for press and promotional purposes so that we can get it to the right ears. This record will feature all the Brittain Ashford staples you've come to know and love: autoharp, mountain dulcimer, marxophone, melodica, etc...

You'll notice the rewards off to the right here. I guess I should take a moment to tell you about Suicide Kittens. you see, in addition to this whole "folk" music thing i also make little stuffed creatures. I offer them as a reward for certain pledge amounts. You should go to
www.suicidekittens.com to get a better idea of what's going on with those. But in short: they are hand made, stuffed kittens.
