::UPDATE::

Just wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who supported this project. Unfortunately, the funding goal was not reached and without proper funding music simply cannot come into fruition. Since the goal wasn't met, all contributions have been returned by the website. I may revisit this in the future if there is a growing interest, but for now I will be concentrating on Rings of Saturn as well as working with other various artists and releasing collaboration songs periodically for everyone. If you liked the demo I put out, I made it available for download free through this link. https://soundcloud.com/lucasblack1991

Again a big thank you goes out to those of you who have shown support!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Everyone! I am currently writing a 10 track solo album (name TBA) with all Guitars and Bass written by me with the help of a Session drummer. I am doing this because I have many ideas that I feel just wouldn't fit well in my band Rings of Saturn, and I really need to express them fully through a separate project.

I would really like to see all my new inspirations come into fruition in a quality album, and provide you all with something new and exciting to listen to, but without the proper funding, it will not happen. Being a musician, money doesn't come easy, so the future of this album is literally in your hands!

Out of good faith, I have made a short demo song with a play though video of some of the ideas I have been working with on the album. I am making the Demo available via Free Download in the video description on Youtube and here --> https://soundcloud.com/lucasblack1991/lucas-mann-solo-album-demo

I am going to a high end studio in order to make the album top quality for everyone. This does make the budget a bit higher, but I do not want to release anything that I feel is going to lack in production and am very ambitious about getting this done the right way. Here is an outline of the funds needed for the project as well as the expenses:

+ Album Artwork $1000

+ Travel Expenses $1,500

+ Session Drums $2,500

+ Studio Recording Time $5,000

+ Mixing and mastering $10,000

Sub Total = $20,000 Gross

- 4% Indiegogo Fee

- 3% Paypal Fee

- 3% Credit Card Fee

- 15% Perk fulfillment

Sub Total = $5,000 Expense

$20,000 Gross - $5,000 Expense = $15,000 Received

Grand Total $15,000

Seeing that $20,000 is needed for the project and there is a $5,000 expense, I am going to cover these costs with my own funds. If the funding goal isn't reaching in 60 days, all contributions will automatically be refunded by the Indiegogo site and unfortunately the album will not be able to be made.

I hope I am able to release this album for you guys, but at the very least, everyone gets a free song! Enjoy!
