About this project

Nine, my second full length album, was recorded in the spring of 2010. It has been finished, polished, and re-polished, but now I need your help turning it into a physical CD.

The goal is $1000, which will go directly to making 500 full-color digipaks. Any money raised above and beyond the initial $1000 (wouldn't that be awesome?!) will go toward posters, buttons, t-shirts, and other merchandise to share with you.

I'm incredibly proud of these 14 songs. You can preview some of them on Facebook or JesKramer.com
We have 30 days to raise the money, in hopes that I can release Nine mid-January before a small midwest tour.

Anything you can give helps! If you can't donate monetarily, sharing the link with your friends and rich relatives goes a long way, too. After all, I only know so many people.

Keep checking back for text and video updates. And thank you!
