Update #12: New Music, Bad Weather, Damn Good February
If you were in Minnesota during last year's President's Day, then you have damn good reason to celebrate this year's weather. Here's to not having 16 inches of snow, a metrodome cave in, and essentially a spring-less year.
Current stats: 4 days left, $247 to go- however the most impressive number I find is the fact we've reached 161 backers so far. It just seems an incredibly large number of people to help out and I couldn't be more thankful. So, as optimistic as I am that we'll reach our goal... we still have to reach it first;)
Enjoy the new track! http://toussaintmorrison.bandcamp.com/track/baby-im-bad-weather

Project By
Connected as Toussaint Morrison (2572 friends)
For the past several years, I've been working as a youth mentor and touring the country with my band, The Blend. Since the band recently relocated from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, I've been working as a paraprofessional with children with autism (ASD) and emotional behavior disorder (EBD) until I make the move out west at the end of the year.
Still working as a full-time musician, I've taken up other projects with jazz musicians and DJ's throughout the midwest area, one of them being my solo project. For the past year, my producer Dr. Wylie & I have released two mixtapes online. Our online releases have gathered a reception of over 10,000 plays, 1000+ downloads, and tens of thousands of youtube plays.
