Project Details
After a year "in the desert" song writing, worship leading, and with my husband on bass and guitar, we have written a collection of songs that far exceeds a 5-song EP. With your help, we will enter the Portland, Oregon studio to put our best songs on record. We will be working with producer Gabriel Wilson who's worked with Bethel Music, John Mark McMillen, and Lindy Conant. We'll also be working with unbelievably talented musicians and engineers. Before we get to the studio, I will be doing pre-production and writing with Gabriel to help craft my songs. He is a top notch songwriter, co-writing "Forever" by Kari Jobe, "Ever Be" by Kalley Hallagenthal, and songs with John Mark McMillen and Delirious front man Martin Smith.
We're confident we are in good hands and the production team will steer us to create something totally amazing.
We will live in the studio for 3 to 4 weeks during the recording process to fully immerse ourselves into the Desert Flags project. We're expecting the EP to be released early to mid 2020.
Backers are guaranteed the EP weeks before anyone else.
What We Need and What You Get
The Desert Flags project is going to be by-far the most unique artistic expression we've ever put out, so much so we have a few surprises to announce after the EP is funded! Here's how you can help make that happen and the perks we're offering our backers!
- We need $29,000 to cover remaining recording expenses which includes mixing, mastering, and hiring a few savvy studio musicians. We've personally funded a portion of the expenses to get this project started.
- Instead of asking for donations, we've made some awesome perks for you to choose from including a CD with Exclusive Bonus Track(s), T-Shirt, Limited Edition Art, Photo Prints, and more!
Stretch Goals
$40,000 Raised - 6 Tracks on EP
$50,000 Raised - 7 Tracks on EP
Risks & Challenges
With the money we've already put down as a deposit and set aside, we can guarantee at least 2 songs no matter what happens. Some of the perks such as CDs, T-Shirts, and Prints have a manufacturer's minimum order. In the event we don't sell enough to cover manufacturing we will offer you either a different product of equal value or refund you the difference.
FAQs
What are the Bonus Tracks on the CD?
These are songs we will be recording in a completely different studio that uses only retro recording gear, the exact same stuff used to record early Johnny Cash. There will be 1 to 2 Bonus Tracks on the CD ONLY.
