Here's your chance to help make "History" (I love the word play in that, just for the record :)
My name is Matt, and my music act is called The Real Matt Jones. Over the course of the past 7 years, my bandmates and I have been incredibly blessed to have landed a management deal, a publishing deal, song placements in numerous movies, and the opportunity to play alongside some of our favorite major label acts all over the country (and even some in Canada!)
We're through with the writing and the recording of our 3rd full-length record, called History. This record has been almost 4 years in the making, so we're confident that it's finally good!
We're doing this Indiegogo campaign for that last "push over the cliff" (in the words of Nigel Tufnel), so that the art, mastering, and production will match the effort of the writing and the recording we've put into this record over the last 4 years.
What We Need & What You Get
All things considered, we are trying to raise a very small amount of money in relation to the project we've taken on. We've already had songs from History that major label artists have expressed interest in recording (or a "hold" on tunes for you Nashville Cats), and we couldn't be more happy with the recording and writing that you'll hear on this record.
So - here's your chance to be part of making this record finally happen! We've got all kinds of "perks" as Indiegogo calls them for contributing at each level...you can even have your name featured in the credits of this CD, or even have a house concert in your own living room anywhere in the world. We tried to make a donation level available for everybody, so make sure you check out all the perks to the right on your screen!
The Impact
This will be the 3rd full-length studio record for The Real Matt Jones, but it will be the 9th studio recording effort from the writers and band members involved. We believe that this is the best possible way to have fans and artists help each other - absolutely directly. When you contribute to a campaign like this, you are not paying a label to tell us what to do. You are not giving money to a nameless, faceless corporation that is only concerned with the bottom line - you are giving direct support to artists that are using those resources to be as ardently creative as possible, and we love you for it.
So, all in all, this is the way that you can help make this record the best possible record we can put out. We promise to keep making music, writing stories, and recording records as long as we have something to contribute.
Thank you incredibly for your time and donations; without you, we're permanently rehearsing ;)

P.S. - All proceeds from this campaign, whether we reach the goal or not will go towards the production of History. If you cannot contribute, please share this campaign with your friends, or email us and let us know if you'd like to help in some other way. We love and appreciate you guys!
