Hey! I'm making my second solo album. I hope to feature many of the artists I've met over the years while working with Adrian Belew.

Hi everybody!  My name is Julie Slick - many of you may know me from my bass work with the Adrian Belew Power Trio.  You also might know me from some of my other projects - PAPER CAT, DRGN King, Springs, The Bahner/Slick Duo, Don McCloskey... maybe you saw me as a youngin' in the documentary, "Rock School." Or maybe you know me from my solo work...

Speaking of solo work... I'm making my second album, to be released in May 2012!

But I need your help - I am putting this baby out independently. My goal is to raise $6,000 to cover mixing, mastering, manufacturing and digital distribution costs, plus I also want to have some of my amazingly talented and awesome muso-friends play on it - and hey, you can too!

The amount I'm hoping to raise may sound like a lot to some, but I really hope to exceed this goal, because I really want to give you something special in return for your support... So any extra funds will go towards making the final product *that* much better - more legendary guest musicians, more artwork, and more surprise goodies for you.

I have packages available for any budget - as low as $1 for a digital download or as high as $2000 for an executive producer credit, a private concert and a three course meal cooked by yours truly, along with many other extras.  Many would make great holiday gifts... just saying...

So please consider helping me out, and being a part of this project. Every little bit helps, and I GREATLY appreciate any support you can offer.

Thanks for taking the time to check out this campaign, and happy holidays!!!

Update #1: I will now be offering 15 cookies instead of 10 for those who pledge over $100.
