About this project
Welcome to our Kickstarter page! We're a harmony driven acoustic/folk act based out of Los Angeles, CA.
After only two months as a band, we're already finishing up the recording of our first EP! Now, we're at the point where we need to name it! That's where YOU come in! That's right! YOU can name our EP.
Right about now, you're thinking "how does that work?" Well, here it goes:
At the end of this campaign, everyone who pledged $25 or more will be entered into a lottery, where we will pick one winner. The winner gets to name the EP. It's that simple! It can be ANYTHING. You could name it something funny, smart, artistic, obscure, etc. The only stipulations are that it can't be obscene or slanderous, for obvious reasons. For those of you who would like to better your odds at winning, every $25 dollars you donate will give you another lottery entry. So for example: $25 gets you 1 entry, $50 gets you 2, $75 gets you 3, and so on!
Just think, the name that you come up with will be printed on all of our CD's, influence the artwork, be on iTunes, stickers, t-shirts etc. That's pretty cool!
If you can't pledge $25, that's ok! There's still some great rewards that you can get your hands on. Check 'em out!----------->
We have set our campaign goal at $3,000. Here's exactly what the money will go toward:
-Professionally Mix & Master -$1000
-CD Duplication - $1500
-Album Artwork - $200
-Merchandise (T-shirts, Stickers, etc.) - $300
While $3,000 is our goal, we would love to go even higher. Therefore, we have added a group reward! If we reach $4,000, everyone who pledged $25 or more will get a Spare Change Singers signed poster! Reaching this goal will help us go on tour (gas, food, shelter, etc.) and advertise for our CD release show in newspapers, magazines, and on the internet!
IF YOU ARE NEW TO KICKSTARTER it is important that you know that if we do not reach our goal of $3,000, we will not receive any of your pledges and you will not get any of your cool rewards! That's not good for anybody! So PLEASE donate what you can and also share this page on Twitter, Facebook, personal email lists, etc.
Every little bit you help brings us closer to making our dreams a reality. This EP is the first step in realizing that dream. Once completed, it will help us book gigs, create media attention, find a manager and agent, and eventually go on tour (we really wanna be at SXSW!).
Thank you so much in advance for all of your pledges, and for taking the time to visit this page.
Sincerely,
Jordan, Maize, & Tommy

Hi, we're The Spare Change Singers, and we're an acoustic/folk act based out of Los Angeles, California. We're finishing up our first EP at the moment and are looking to fund the rest of the process!
We got together with the idea of making music that draws from new bands like Good Old War, Fleet Foxes, and Sufjan Stevens, as well as classic artists like CSNY, Fleetwood Mac, and The Beach Boys to create a new and unique sound.
