This is the gospel/blues/rock album I've wanted to produce. It will have 12-13 tracks with deep, rich tones and encouraging lyrics.
Hey Gang,
Thanks for checking out my project and considering your involvement. I am very excited to invite you to be a significant part in getting this CD off the ground.
The particular sum I am shooting for goes toward a combination of expenses. The largest expense is the CD project disc and jacket replication ($2500 for the entire package). For promotion and packaging options I plan to order T-shirts ($700-$800). The rest will go for album design, mixing, and mastering.
My hope is to do more than just business, but to use my music as a ministry. I want to be a positive force in the lives of people who would not otherwise step foot in a traditional church but who are used to the sounds that are produced in this project. Here are two quotes that help sum up what I'm about:
“This album from Paul Brendon Lile did not actually strike us as traditional gospel music ... sounding more like a regular singer songwriter…. The songs on this album are, but for one traditional song, self-penned and demonstrate his fervent belief in God.... These are not the songs of a zealot but those of a believer. Standout tracks were the countrified "Who Can Stand" and "Forever More" that would easily stand up as a conventional love song. “ Bluesbunny (secular and independent reviews)
“My neighbor is not into church and listened to your CD, then told me she could definitely get into a church that encouraged that kind of style. You won someone over to attending church all the way in Tulsa!” -- friend in Oklahoma
I want to put my project in the hands of more people so that more people will have that kind of experience. I want people to see the believer behind the sound, enough that some of the other excuses fade away and they consider Jesus again.
I plan to play different venues around the region in the coming year to circulate this product and the spirit behind it. Your help will get the stone rolling.
FAQ
-
No. Not to back this particular project. I cannot enter money for myself. The best and most simple way to be a backer is to pledge or pre-order through my campaign here at Kickstarter.
-
Hopefully. The only problem is that depends on my meeting my goal with this Kickstarter campaign, in order to fund this project to professional standards. I am hoping that all those who are interested or have heard my music before will be willing to pre-order with confidence here.

If I don't meet my goal, backers are not charged anything, and the artists get nothing.
