Short Summary
We are Go Jimmy Go -- original Hawaiian ska, rocksteady, reggae music -- and we just played our last show ever! The Go Jimmy Go "A Hui Hou" 2oth Anniversary & Farewell Show took place on January 16, 2016 @ The Republik. Our "A Hui Hou" show was special. We played our 5 albums chronologically from our first, "Slow Time," and finished with our last, "Go Jimmy Go." We flew down as many former Jimmies as possible to sit in live on the albums and era that they played in over the span of 20 years...too cool! We had tons of special guests come up on stage and perform with us like Jesse Wagner of The Aggrolites, Deondre "Big Fish" Flemming of Westside Rebellion, Todd Hembrook of Deals Gone Bad, Buck Giles on steel guitar, Lindy Patterson on percussion and so many more! We want to produce a live album and documentary of that epic night for all of you and we need your help...
What We Need & What You Get
We need your help in funding the production and mastering of the live album so your ears can relive the epic 2.5 hour Go Jimmy Go "A Hui Hou" set in it's entirety! We also were able to interview current and former members for a documentary+live show video. That's it, plain and simple. We're just planning on a simple digital release of the Go Jimmy Go "A Hui Hou" 2oth Anniversary & Farewell Show Live Album and Video for $10. After the campaign, we'll go into the studio to mix and master down the 30 song set from the show. We'll send you the 30 track live album and video in time for the 1 year anniversary of this event set for January 2017.
The Impact
Go Jimmy Go grew up in a different time and era. A time where people bought music and people developed a personal relationship with the band and their music. Those time are long gone but you can still relive those memories! Help us fund the Go Jimmy Go "A Hui Hou" 2oth Anniversary & Farewell Show Live Album + Video and you can connect the past with the present. It's ironic that in this world of "interconnectivity" that we're really not connected at all anymore...on a personal level, on a musical level, and a spiritual level. That's what music does... Better yet, this live album will bring back all those "good times, bad times, and all those in-between times" memories of the past 20 years with you Go Jimmy Go! By helping us make this live album happen, you'll be making bringing back all the good things about music and our common experience of a proper good time!
Risks & Challenges
Well, to keep it simple, if we can raise the $4,000 we will produce, master and release Go Jimmy Go "A Hui Hou" 2oth Anniversary & Farewell Show Live Album and Video we'll be able to share this epic experience with all of you. If not, we'll be sad and have to figure another way to make it happen...
