Update #5: The Journey Continues...
Backers/Friends,

We have set up all the same options, as closely as we are able, through PayPal on our Community Page at HeatherlynMusic.com. Please click to visit >> http://www.heatherlynmusic.com/community/index.html

Update #4: Photo Gallery from the Recording Studio! Good vibes. =)
Hello, Friends!
Hope you're enjoying the day...and if not, I hope this will be a cheery ray of light in your day.
This morning, we attended and lent musical inspiration to a Conference on Youth Violence Prevention in St. Paul. It was a meaningful morning and we were very well received. So now, we are finally getting some other work done here to share with you!
Here's the link to see the gallery of work done yesterday at the Library Recording Studio. We had a great time, got a couple more scratch tracks laid and worked on more song structures.

In this 5 Day Count Down VLOG (Video-Blog) I share more on our influences and inspirations as we approach this album quite differently from the first. ENJOY!

I hope to do a short video each day as we come down the home stretch.
Thank you again for being a part of this project. I know I've already said it many times, and you can be sure this won't be the last...this is a community effort to be sure and we are grateful for your love, belief and strength in coming together.
PeaceGoodnessGrace to you and yours always,

Update #2: quick hello and what's to come
Good Morning, Friends.
Woke up thinking about our backers this morning and just wanted to send a Hello! Thanks again for getting on board, supporting our work and art and getting us to over 20%. We are so grateful and also glad that there are 16 days remaining for others to get on board! Thanks again for posting and sharing with others what we're up to. You are where it's at since we have no big machine pumping out flashy glamorous promos and hype...it's our friends and supporters who make it happen. And that's cool, because it starts with people who really want the music and care about why it's being made.
Today, Jason and I set out for Stockholm, WI to perform at the Arts Fair. We had another outdoor venue this past week in a wonderful family environment and there's a great photo gallery of that community time here. >> http://heatherlynmusic.smugmug.com/Music/Events/Prospect-Park-Community/12930066_qkccB#934597971_EVe6Q
This coming week will be a couple of service learning gigs with youth, a volunteer gig on behalf of the Fallout Urban Arts Center (http://www.falloutminneapolis.com/ of Source MN - an organization reaching unhoused youth on the streets of Mpls) and more networking and practicing and prepping songs for pre-production with Matt. We plan to take some photos the next time we're in the studio to share with you all.
Hope you enjoy the weekend whether with family or friends at work or at play.
Peace.Goodness.Playfulness.Hope.

A Heatherlyn House Concert is a high-quality multi-media experience with non-intrusive lighting, audio, and visual projection of Jason's photography. This might sound like it takes a ton of space but it doesn't. We are VERY efficient with space and use it well to facilitate a fun and meaningful community experience. This applies if you live in the lower 48, USA. If you live in another part of the world, we would love to come and will likely do so, if you and yours are able to cover all travel and lodging expenses!

Dread-locked, nearly vegan, soul-roots-rock independent singer and song~artist. Heatherlyn's soulful, honest, hopeful voice resonates with people from all various walks of life. In concert, Heatherlyn leads participants on a refreshing journey of connection - from whimsical laughter together to deeper thoughtfulness about life and love, considering how we each are conduits of peace and hope in our world.
Heatherlyn likes to travel; create natural, nourishing and detectable meals; listen to stories and tell some too. She says her favorite moments are "when I can't stop laughing and my gut hurts because of it" and also "when I get to see someone being their true, authentic selves, unabashedly shining their unique light, sharing their gifts to be an enriching, loving presence to all around them."
Heatherlyn is a full time singing, guitar-playing poet and presenter. She can be booked solo or with a full band. http://www.heatherlynmusic.com
