About this project
Enjoy the project video above by clicking on the green arrow in the middle of the photo. Then, come along with me as I create my first full-length album of original songs. "Geography" is a landmark event in my creative life, and I want to share it with you. With the first six songs already recorded and mixed, and more original songs written and ready to go, the adventure is underway!
You can listen to the first six songs here:

You can read more about me on my website:
And together we can finish this project!
What does your support pay for?
1) The musicians I hire to accompany me.
2) The recording studio fees including the engineer to record and mix four to six more songs and to master the final product.
3) Duplication, photography, graphic design, printing, and production.
Every dollar I receive to assist me with my project will be used to pay for the actual expenses incurred to finish the CD project, which makes it possible for me to deliver it to you.
What's in it for you?
Your investment in this project provides a way for you to be directly involved in bringing new music into the world. By supporting this project, you are also supporting other members of the artistic community with whom I will collaborate during various stages of the process.
In exchange for your participation, first and foremost, forever and always, you'll have my sincere gratitude. Every single backer will receive a personal thank you on my Facebook Fan Page and on my website. You will receive continuous project updates giving you the opportunity to follow along as I compose, record, and produce an album of original music.
In addition, depending on your level of support, you can enjoy free music downloads, autographed CDs, prints of my original collage artwork, special contributor credit in the CD liner notes, Linda Tate Logo Tee-Shirts, Living Room Concerts, or even an original song dedicated to you.
So let's get started right away! Between now and March 11th we need to reach or exceed my monetary goal. It's all or nothing. Become a member of my dream team, share this with others, and help me cross the finish line.
