Welcome everybody. I am Harrison B, a Progressive American Soul artist born and raised in Tennessee. I was 22 when I packed up my Jeep for Juneau, Alaska for the first time. I learned about this Continent and the people, and about myself. In a small bar in Juneau Alaska, I found my voice. 6 Months later I drove home and recorded "The Harrison B LP". A year after that I recorded "Down At Brown's" in my Hometown of Lascassas, TN. Now, 18 months later I am driving the whole continent to record my first Full-Length Studio Album in Anchorage, AK.
Since 2010 I have been driving, flying, bussing, and boating this country performing all along the way. The songs on this album grew out of all those places and people. Starting March 18th I decided tore-trace my footsteps from New York to Alaska and a recording studio named Studio 2200. I am excited that we are finally in a place to record music that has been in the works for many years. I feel like we are finally ready and I want you to share in this experience with me.
You contributing to this journey will help achieve the largest mile-stone in my recording career to date and in return, you will receive my best work yet. I am still an Independent Artist, and I need support to get projects like this off the ground. Once it is, I guarantee you will be pleased with the end product.
We have a goal of $3,000 for this recording. Where does this money go?
- Studio Time: We are recording in Studio 2200 in Anchorage, AK. A studio with the ideal setup and gear for this project.
- Studio Mastering: This is a critical part of all Recordings, a final pass that gives you the Warmth, Brilliance, and Volume that you have come to love in your favorite recordings.
- CD Printing: Creation and Duplication of the Discs themselves, their Packaging, and their Distribution.
- Approx. Half of the Travel Expenses: Taking care of a portion of the cost of the drive from NY to AK where the album is to be recorded.
- Delivery: All shipping costs are included in this project.
This Pre-Sale Fundraiser is set-up around you being a part of the process. So alot of the Items & Experiences available are based around this principle of immersing you with the experience as much as possible. Concerts in your home, a cover of any song you choose, the Original Hand-Written Album Lyric Sheets from the "Song Wall". Not to mention an Acoustic version of the Album is Included with every purchase!
If we do not reach our goal, I will do whatever it takes to make sure that those that contributed get the album that they paid for. It may take more time but I will get it done. I will honor those who have commited.
This Project is my unique take in a forming Genre. My approach has always been to listen to my heart and make the music in my head. You have the chance to be a part of this sound. This album is the incarnation of that idea, and a chance to forge a direction in the Musical Landscape.
My Last Pre-Sale Project, "Down At Brown's", released on time as promised and was exactly what it was promised to be. Expect nothing different from this album, you will get exactly what you pay for.
This has been an in-surmountable undertaking from the start. Before we even record the first note the planning will have been carried out for over 4 Months and by the time it is over I will have traveled over 7,500 Miles. But if I was in the habit of allowing hurdles to become road-blocks, I would have been out of this a long time ago. All the nights sleeping in the truck, all the travel and the cold, all worth getting to share the playback with all of you. I am commited. To this dream, to this Music, to you people. I can't thank you enough for your time, now let's make an album!
