We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on January 2, 2012.

We've got an EP's worth of pop country originals that are just dying to be heard. If we can raise the $$ by New Years Day, they can be!

Thank you for visiting! So, here's the deal:

I have an incredible opportunity to record my first original country project with some amazing people in Nashville and the perfect amount of time to do it in. The only problem is, I don't have enough money to do it alone. In addition to the chunk of money I have saved, I need to raise an additional $10,000 by New Years, or this project will not be possible. 

I have 3 weeks off in between Broadway projects-- The Addams Family will close on December 31st and I will begin rehearsals for the next project the third week of January (which I cannot publicly disclose until the press release goes out... but it's exciting! If you'd like to know, press "send message" at the top of the page and ask me, and I'll tell you privately.) That leaves a perfect window of 3 weeks that I can complete this project and release it in the Spring of 2012!

Justin York, my co-writer and producer, and I have been tirelessly writing and recording as much as we can in our spare time. Everything we have done so far, all of the demos you have heard, have been done for free, with Justin donating his time and talent. We have been perfecting these songs for almost 2 years, and it's high time they finally get heard! 

Justin will be overseeing and producing the project as well as engineering and playing guitar on the album. But the two of us can't do it all. 

Here's what your money will go toward:

  • Studio Time
  • Additional Studio Musicians
  • Mixing and Mastering 
  • Album Artwork
  • Pressing and Printing the final product

If there is ANY money left over, or if we raise more than the goal amount, it will pay for a potential 6TH SONG! Also, it will allow us to bring in additional specialized musicians (mandolin, strings, fiddle, etc.), and if we STILL have more money, it will go toward my first ever MUSIC VIDEO! Now, that would be cool... 

Now, let's get to the good stuff. The REWARDS:

Here's all the things I am offering to sweeten the deal for you!

  • Your name listed in the Thank You's on the EP!
  • Pre-released, autographed copy of EP mailed directly to your home
  • Signed press photo, made out especially to you
  • USTREAM private concert on January 13, 2012 at 8pm EST. I'll email you a private link to log on and watch me sing in the studio live!

  • Addams Family Show posters and playbills signed by the entire cast!
  • Free download of 3 bonus Christmas tracks I recorded, just in time for the holidays!
  • One of a kind, Rachel Potter designed and bedazzled "Live the Dream" t-shirt. I love rhinestones, and I'm awesome at blinging stuff!

(If you are not in the NYC area, we can discuss availability and arrangements. Flight, transportation, and hotel must be provided for 2 people)
