Purchase Ethan Keller's "Goin Down in History, Goin Down in Flames" in ADVANCE
Thank you for buying my new record in advance! It will not only smooth the path, it will also be fuel for the engines, and you wil have the option to feel what it's like to be on board when the rocket launches.
- The record release is Friday June 7th. Here you can get the record, and more than that, get a perk that will aid in the holy crusade.
-
Goin Down in History, Goin Down in Flames is the compilation of compositions written during the most difficult and exciting years of my life. The record will also contain several collaborations with other songwriters.
- If I've learned anything over the years, its that the community, the SHARED experience is exponentially richer than GOING ALONE. Everything I've ever produced was usually first funded by family, friends, and fans. By graciously placing money in my hands, yes, you basically keep the tradition, and this vehicle going. But you get more: you get adopted into this big cool family.
What goes into making and releasing a record?
Literally, hundreds of things happen. Many people are involved. Everyone knows about shelling out cash to fancy studios and duplicators, but here's a few of the unsung heroes that are priceless, and sometimes their payment is deferred:
- A Grammy-winner from L.A. was involved on my previous record Profit, however it was a favorite local artist whose creativity earned a nomination for BEST ALBUM ART at the Milwaukee Music Awards. I have commissioned this trusted and talented artist with the album cover art & layout again.
- I must let it be known that families are both the champions and the victims of artists's lifestyles. Time and distance from the ones you love is difficult.
- Photographers, Videographers, Sound Engineers, and lets not forget amazing musicians, all are paid accordingly -- and the more dollars raised, the more top-notch home grown talent is hired to produce greater greatness.
- Once a record is released, money dedicated to the promoters of that record can dwarf what was spent making it. A large sponsorship can hire publicist, or start a record label to help me create and laser-guide good music to ears.
A deeper impact
This time around, not only can you help in small ways and big ways for me, but you will also be able to help some others:
- There are opportunities on this campaign to donate money to worthy causes.
- YOU and others can utilize more personalized services.
Coolest. Perks. Ever.
If you so desire, you might:
- Be privy to the process and get VIP treatmnt at the record release.
- Have me or the full group peform at one of your functions.
- Get a music lesson, songwriting advice, or career help.
- NAME ONE OF MY SONGS (Yes, for real).
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR TRUSTING AND GIVING LOVE IN ANTICIPATION OF GREAT THINGS TO COME. THIS IS MY BEST WORK AND THERE IS ALREADY A HUGE COMMUNITY TO REPAY, BUT STILL NEED YOUR HELP TO BRING IT ALL HOME.
