Update #3: The Duck Wife on the cover of Montreal's Hour magazine this week.
Hi Friends and backers,
Our show made the cover of Montreal's top culture & entertainment weekly Hour.
You can read the article here: http://www.hour.ca/stage/stage.aspx...
and see a little image of what the cover looks like on the home page www.hour.ca.
Needless to say, we are thrilled to be getting such great media attention, and are channeling our excitement into perfecting the show which will debut in just over a week.
Best wishes,
Ted Strauss, for The Duck Wife team
Update #2: We did it! Thanks to you.
To our incredibly generous friends,
Thank you.
Wow! We reached our goal of $5 000 with a few days to go!
From donations of $5 to $859, you have all made The Duck Wife team extraordinarily happy! Nothing is overlooked, and every donation makes a difference. Already 82 people have been moved to donate!
We are blown away by your generosity and enthusiasm for our project. In addition to financial support, we've heard many encouraging words, and have felt a warm sense of community from all of you.
Your donations will be used to pay for transportation, food, printing and accomodations during our 4 city tour. This will allow our ticket and merchandise revenue to be used to pay the performers, so that we can return home with some earnings in our pockets, a step closer to independence as professional artists. That's our dream and it's starting to come true.
Encouraged by the passionate responses we’ve had, we plan to make full use of our last 6 days to see how much further we can go. Let’s finish this campaign off with a bang, and start our show off running! Please continue to forward our Kickstarter page to anyone you know using this link: http://kck.st/cmjarx. As we’ve leaneed, you never know who will be inspired to give!
Thank you so much!
We are excited to share three tracks from The Duck Wife album, by Grub Animal. (Click the play button on the music players at the bottom of this page.) This album is being launched this Tuesday, June 1, at Cafe Chaos, 2035 St Denis (near Sherbrooke). If you're in Montreal come see Grub Animal play their first Montreal show.
