About this project

I'm attempting to raise $5,000 by September 30, 2009, my birthday (CORRECTION: We only have until September 4th!), in order to transform the demos I've just finished recording at NYC’s Axis Sound into a collection of stellar songs. This is the amount required to continue the recording process, master the final product, and press the first 1,000 copies in eco-friendly albums.

To the right you'll see a list of rewards. For pledges of $1 or more you will receive access to exclusive updates as we go through this process. Those who pledge $5 or more will have her name listed under a special “thank you” section of my official website, with an optional link to website of her choice (this is for the self-employed entrepreneurs and whatnot - nothing freaky, please). Pledges of $10 or more will give you exclusive downloads, $20 will give you the digital album upon completion, and so on. Other rewards include autographed items, guest list spots at upcoming shows, and even a day in New York City with Laura - that’s me.

The reason I’m asking my fans for financial support is because I realize that there is no such thing as an “independent” artist. You guys make it possible for me to continue pursuing my dreams. And just because I don’t have a major label backing me doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to put out a mediocre piece of work. I believe these songs are my strongest creations to date and I want to give them - and you - the proper attention and production they deserve.

Thank you for joining team!

Laura Meyer

Straightpin New York, NY

After completing tour at the end of last summer I challenged myself to live in one place continuously for an entire year. So I parked my car at my mom’s house and went back to New York City. For the past several months I’ve been living in the Lower East Side, balancing my outward journey with an inward one, and writing songs that - with your help - will become a new album, Back in New York.
