I'm Jimmy, the lead singer / songwriter of Jimmy Willden Band- a local band from Corpus Christi, Texas.

So, I've been playing music since I can remember, but finally hopped onto the stage, professionally, when I was fourteen. Since then, I haven't looked back. From touring the U.S, having my songs played on the radio and on soundtracks for films and television, I just keep trying to move forward.

And this next step is no different. It's been six years since I've recorded a record, and I've written over twenty songs -- so it's definitely long overdue. I'm currently rehearsing with the band, whittling the songs down to the top 10-12 -- and we are looking to head into the studio in mid-April. These are the best songs I've ever written, and I can't wait to share them with you!

The Songs & You

I've heard it before, and now I know it's true: From pain and anguish comes greatness.

Coming from a recent emotional journey, and finally climbing out of a nearly year-long songwriter's block, I can tell you, these are some of the best songs I have ever written.

Now all we want to do is share them with you. And so, with your help, that can happen.


Already, we have interest from several radio stations, a few independent labels and A & R reps, and the potential for an awesome summer tour is just on the horizon. But in order for all of that to happen, we need a product. We need our music, on tape.

When we reach our goal, because of you, these songs can be heard - and our 'next step' can finally begin.

What We Need & What You Get

Our GOAL is $2400, which will go directly to securing studio / recording time at Sound Machine Studio in Corpus Christi, Texas, (http://www.soundmachinestudio.com/ ), where we will be tracking the twelve songs chosen for this record. Our goal is to have the mixing and mastering process completed at Pedernales Studio (Willie Nelson's studio near Austin, Texas) followed by professional design and duplication.  

And so, when you donate to our campaign, you will recieve some great stuff in return!! From free cds, thank-yous in our liner notes, tickets to the release party, a private show just for you, etc....You help us make our debut album, we'll make sure you get something GRAND in return.

The Impact

Of course, to most of you, I'm a stranger. Why help me? Why help our band?

This is why. The music speaks for itself.

Before this new endeavor, I have released four solo albums, all gaining their own unique success.

In 2003, I released Mirrors of Simplicity, which had several songs go on to be featured on soundtracks, and internet radio-play. The album's most popular song, Closer (the Baby song)' is still an audience favorite.

With 2006 came the release of my folk/alternative album, Broken & Healing. That album spawned several radio-friendly tracks, including Falter, which has been featured on the soundtracks for movies and television shows, including MTV's popular dating show, Next. Also, Broken & Healing was the album that sent me out on my first U.S. tour (with the great talents of David Martinez and Hope Cassity).

We all have to start somewhere. The Jimmy Willden Band starts here.


Other Ways You Can Help

Even if you can't donate monetarily, you can still help us get this album made.

Please spread the word, and share this campaign with your friends and family.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you at a show soon!
