Short Summary

  •  Emmylou Harris calls us her Red Dirt Boys. We've been her rhythm section since 2007.
  • We are Chris Donohue (bass and vocals), Will Kimbrough (guitars, mandolin, and vocals), Phil Madeira (keyboards, guitar, and vocals), Bryan Owings (drums and percussion). Also appearing on the project is the fifth member of Emmy's RDB, the brilliant Eamon McLoughlin (violin and mandolin).
  • We've got two records we want to put in your hands- "Red Dirt Boys" (2019) and "The Real Deal" (2021). Both feature guest performances from Emmylou Harris herself!
  • It's harder than ever to distribute music these days - which is why our 2019 record never formally released - but we're determined to get our music to our fans old and new!
  • As you scroll through our merchandise, please pay attention to the "Add On" sections which will make your RDB experience more fulfilling!  

What We Need & What You Get

Our modest goal of $15,000 will cover manufacturing costs of CDs, Vinyl LPs, and shirts, as well as mixing, mastering, and artwork.  We hope we'll raise enough funds to pay for some marketing and PR as well.

  • Besides the 21 songs between "Red Dirt Boys" and "The Real Deal", we're offering digital downloads of 5 additional songs as well as a recorded running commentary from the band on each record - the process, song meanings, stories, and more!  
  • One featured reward for YOU is the opportunity to sing on our record - and all you need is a smartphone with a voice recording app!
  • If we don't reach our intended goal, our first priority will be making sure YOU receive your backer rewards.  Whatever we have left after you're taken care of will go towards promotion and related costs.

The Impact

  • We're invested in the idea that music can change the world for the better.  Our songs feel good, even when they address life's sorrows and trials.  
  • As individuals, we've run a dozen fundraisers with great success.
  • YOU can help us reach our goal and we can all enjoy this music together.

REFERRAL CONTEST!!

As an incentive to encourage you spread the word to your friends, WE ARE RUNNING A CONTEST!  The backer whose referrals bring in the most money will receive their choice of (A) Double Vinyl, (B) Double CD Plus T Shirt, or (C) the hand-written lyric of their choice!  

Follow these simple instructions in order to receive credit for promoting the project:

  • Make sure you're logged in to Indiegogo.
  • Make use of the Indiegogo sharing tools!  When you share the link, it will contain your unique ID.  When the person you referred reads the tweet or FB share, etc, and clicks through to contribute, Indiegogo will recognize you as the person who helped bring in the amount contributed by the persons you invited.
  • Once the campaign comes to a close, we'll notify the person who leads in funds raised via their referrals.. 
  • Thanks to everyone who shares the campaign!

Risks & Challenges

  • We've done this before.  We take seriously the responsibility of meeting our backers' belief in us.
  • Manufacturing can occasionally take longer than expected but you WILL receive your items.  And if the post office fails to deliver, just let us know and we'll take care of it!

Thanks, everyone!
