Introduction

In the past 2 years I have been releasing a song at a time in a "digital single" format.  It has been a very fun project becoming a solo-artist after many years of playing in various bands regionally.  After growing success from the release of these songs I have realized that I have a strong desire to release a concise, well-recorded album that represents my best unreleased songwriting over the past 20 years. 

What I need and what you will receive

Over the last couple months I have been in deep discussions with my friend and Vancouver based musician/producer JP Maurice about recording an EP.  After some deep digging into old demos, song ideas, and rough song sketches, I've discovered that I have more than enough to release an LP (9+ songs).  

That being said, this fundraising success will determine how many songs I am able to produce.  Roughly speaking a working class frugal recording can be achieved at about $1000 per song, mixed.  My initial plan was to record the best 3-4 songs and release as an EP but I feel that a longer and more expansive recording will be more impactful on my music career.  

In return for asking for help to achieve my goal I will be offering you a number of packages to suit every budget. Every single penny counts and is appreciated, even a small $15 donation.  Take a look at each perk for more details on my offerings.  I appreciate your consideration in joining me on this project. 

The Impact

Upon completion of my recording I plan on performing throughout the region.  I cannot wait to meet you in person and shake your hand and cannot wait thank you for your help personally.  I have budgeted for publicity & radio promotion within my goal and hope that this recording reaches the widest national audience in my career and that you will join me in the successes that will follow.  

Upon release of the album I will be holding regional launch parties where I will perform the songs live.  Something that is really close to my heart and I feel is important in this pitch is a charity element.  Long term affordable lodgings at the Easter Seals house here in Vancouver is so important to many people who are being treated themselves or are supporting a loved one but live outside of the Lower Mainland of BC.  Many are young families with children being treated for cancer or other severe and life-threatening illness.  Partial proceeds of the launch of my album will go to this amazing charity.  

Other Ways You Can Help

Thank you for taking the time to read this pitch.  If you are unable to donate I would appreciate a share on Facebook, Twitter, or email.  I would love to send you a copy of my newest song "Brian Jones (the Death of the Rolling Stones)" by email for taking the time to help spread the word!
