Short Summary
Welcome! If I don't know you already, my name is Allegra Krieger, and I'm a songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. After a short stint at music school in Boston, I decided to leave, rather abruptly, and some years of aimlessness ensued. During that time I harvested olives, planted trees, cleaned motel rooms, waited tables and began experimenting with songwriting. In the spring of 2017, I moved to New York to record a live album of eight original songs with a band of wonderfully talented musicians. Since then, I've been performing regularly in the city, as well as gigging around the country through self-booked tours.
My band and I are finally ready to return to the studio, and this is where we need your help!
Budget
This record will be made whole by a myriad of moving parts, all of which cost money. We don't need corporations to sponsor and control music production, because we have each other! These days, without the support of a record label, crowdfunding websites are how musicians make records. In taking this route, you, our listeners & supporters will act as the record label and help bring this project to fruition. So, THANK YOU!!
We are attempting to raise $11,000 to complete this project, and the funds will be going towards; studio time, engineering, producing, musicians, mixing, mastering, CD production, and merchandise. If the goal isn't reached, the album will still be made, though over a longer period of time, with the few jobs I hold down here in the city.
Studio Time: We will be recording at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, NY assisted by engineer; Michael Coleman, and producer/engineer; Adam Schatz.
Musician's time: My dearest friends and bandmates have put a lot of heart into these songs, and for that, I'm forever grateful. Rob Taylor (Bass), Jacob Matheus (Electric guitar) Eladio Rojas (Drums) & I will lay down the foundations of each song, and then the production process will begin. There'll be string arrangements, banjos, pianos, flutes, & more! wow! ( Danae Greenfield, Chase Potter, Sam Talmadge, Caroline Kuhn.. & perhaps other special guests)
Mixing & Mastering: The finals steps in creating a cohesive album- We need to pay for the mix, the master, and the studio time to accomplish both of these things.
Physical CD & Merchandise: CD's, tote bags, & stickers! oh my
