Since the beginning, the band has always had one main focus: you. We believe music has a way of connecting people, healing hearts and creating moments to last a lifetime.  We hope our songs can give you courage when you feel lost, relate to you when you feel broken and celebrate with you in all your triumphs and victories.  This is why we make music: you.

The truth is, we are hell bent on making it.  Success as a band can be measured in so many ways, but for us, it’s all about delivering on the exact reason we make music: to build relationships, make friends and encourage people to be the best they can be.  Sure, we would love to one day be signed by a record label and play with national acts all around the globe, but our main goal will always be making music and making friends.  To us, that is success.

Since our last few tours, we have put together a collection of songs which turned into our new EP called "Heart, Stay Whole." This new record is centered on the idea of "The Wild and Brave."  We define "The Wild and Brave" as a group of people who aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in.  "The Wild and Brave" are people who encourage each other to be the best they can be.  "The Wild and Brave" know they aren't perfect, but they don't let that stop them.  All of the songs on "Heart, Stay Whole." are about adventure, finding yourself and the amazing, ironic and painful emotions love can put the heart through.  We believe these are the best songs we have ever created and can't wait to share them with you.

But, we can't do this alone.  We need your help to make "Heart, Stay Whole" the best project we've ever done.  Everyone we've met during our journey had a huge part in our story.  And for that, we can't thank you enough.  Nothing is more humbling than hearing about how a song we wrote had an impact on a life and we hope to provide that same experience to as many people as possible.  That's where you come in.


What We Need & What You Get

As you may know, making music is really expensive.  Because we don't have a label or investors behind us yet; we are responsible for funding everything we do.  In order to take our next venture to the next level, we need help.

We are looking to raise $4000 to finish recording, mixing and mastering "Heart, Stay Whole,"  press physical copies of the record, order new merch (shirts, CD's, material for bracelets), marketing for our record, van repairs and fuel to hit the road to see you.  The more money we raise, the more we are able to do.  And the more we do, the more we can come out and see you!

We could never just ask for funding without coming up with some unique ways we can say "Thanks!" By contributing to our Indie Gogo you could have:

·Free download of "Heart, Stay Whole"  five days before it is released

·Special demo of our song "You Deserve"

·Fun, hand made items like our one-of-a-kind bracelets, Matt's signature animal drawings or a custom wood-burned fence post with light bulbs attached.

·A song written about you, just for you!  

·Signed CD's and first dibs on new merch (Shirts, bracelets, etc)

·Fun outings with the band such as: mini golf, a secret campfire show, a classy dinner or even a tour of Seattle!

·And so much more!!

We hope we can provide a fun experience while trying to raise funds for our project and all the while get the word out about our EP.


The Impact

Whether you donate $5-$10 or you feel called to support our dream by donating $1000 or more, your contribution will make a world of difference for us.  What's most important to us is that we can continue to make music for you and encourage people to be the best they can be.  

We want music to be our full-time job and would love to be on the road year round, but we can't do that without you.  Running a campaign like this is not only a way we can raise the funds we need to roll out our new EP, but it’s a way we can promote our band and raise awareness about why we do what we do.


Risks & Challenges

Honestly, we are really nervous to do this.  We have always tried to wait to do something like this until we absolutely had to and that time has finally come.  

If we don't raise the funds, it will be very difficult for us to release our EP in the way it should be done.  Like we said, recording is very expensive and three guys in their early 20's working jobs on top of playing in a band that requires our entire attention can make things quite hard.

But we won’t focus on can’t. Because we can do this.  


Other Ways You Can Help

So if you have made the decision to be a part of our journey, great! Even if you aren’t able to donate at the moment, no problem, there are still ways you can help!

·Please, please, please tell people about us.  The more people sharing that there is a band in Seattle that's on a brand new adventure and is looking for support, the more exposure and new people we will get to meet. 

·Check out our music.  Itunes, Bandcamp, Spotify you name it.  Google Matt Bacnis Band and you will find something!

·Join our Street Team.  We have an amazing group of people there already.  You will love it.  Plus, you will be eligible for even more free stuff ;)

·Share our campaign!  Sharing creates a domino effect. You can share it on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Email Blast, at your church, school, community group or local bar!

·If you know any record labels, booking agents, A&R reps, managers or any connection with someone who can help us break into the next level, please contact us.

·If you know any venues, churches, colleges or high schools that would like us to stop in and play, let us know!

Again, this band is and always will be about you.  Thanks for being a part of our journey and let's be the "Wild and Brave."
