Update #6: New Project!
I've canceled this project, but set up a new one here:
Please make your contributions toward this new project.
Looking forward to brining this music to you!
Thanks again for your support.

Update #5: Plan B
Thank you for your generous contribution to my album in progress. I'm very grateful for your support. Unfortunately, it looks like the project will not fund. (We have three days of fundraising left and we're only at 33% of our goal.) If the project does not fully fund, your credit card (or whichever payment method you used) will not be charged and you have no further obligation.
What this means for me is that I won't be able to do the full album as I had hoped. However, I'm not stopping here. I'm moving on to Plan B, which is to break the album up into EPs of 3-5 songs each. I'll raise funds for each one separately. The first will have a goal of $750, which should be easy to reach.
I'll fill you in on details once I initiate the new fundraising goal.
Again, thank you so much for your support! I look forward to sending you new info soon.
btw, our first concert is coming up Feb. 6 in Atlanta. I'll post video footage on YouTube! I'm very excited about the show. :)
See you soon.

I can't wait to do this record. It's going to be amazing!
Thanks for your generous support. Please pass on the word to friends.
Thanks,
Darren
Update #2: Dino Fever
My first single from last year, titled Dinosaur Town, is now available through Amazon, eMusic, and Napster!
Just search on my name (remember it's Nelsen with an e) at any of those sites and you'll find it.
I should be on iTunes in a few weeks.
This is very exciting for me!
I'd be so honored if you'd write a review of Dinosaur Town at any of the above retail sites. That would really make me happy.
I'm thinking of putting a 'live' version of Dinosaur Town on the new album. Let me know if that's something you'd like.
Thanks for your support.
Woohoo! :)
