The Story of Adonis Blue
Adonis Blue was created in the summer of 2011 as the brainchild of lead singer and pianist, Kiersten Rose, who desired to lead a group who would take music outside, and shake some fresh air into it. She found a small group of talented and willing guys to go on the journey. They are all musicians who love the artistry of their instruments and creating new and tasty sounds. Kiersten Rose is the lead vocalist, pianist, and accordion player, Brian Vaccaro plays guitar, Mark Wallace on bass, and Kyle Honeycutt on drums. In making their debut album, Kiersten says,
"I have some homegrown songs that have taken shape over the last few years that reflect a harvest from the garden of my life. 'Up from the worn out soil grew more flowers' is not only a line from the title track of 'Bloom,' but the resulting bouquet of songs I offer you."
Kiersten has used the trials in her life as manure to fertilize the soil under her feet. She is rebuilding herself from the ground up in a sense, as a full-time student and musician, and continues to pour herself into her passions and gifts as an artist. Your contributions to this project enable Kiersten and Adonis Blue to continue to offer their fragrant artistry. In sharing why this campaign is important to her, Kiersten says,
"My heart and longing is to create music, not only for entertainment, but to bring beauty into this world. It is my attempt to make life more full of wonder and awe. I can't do this alone, and need others to share in this need to sow seeds of creativity."
So, come along, plant your seed and watch Adonis Blue "bloom" with their debut album.
What We Need & What You Get
We are in need of at least $3000 to make this album. The costs for studio time, musicians, mastering, replication and distribution can run from $10,000 upward! Kiersten will be doing a lot of the mixing and editing on her own which helps to keep costs down. However there are many items which will need to be done by others.
We've got goodies for you! There are three levels of support with special gifts for you:
- The Single-Stem - $25 donation
- The Bouquet - $100 donation
- The Perrenial Garden - $1000 donation
All donations above our goal will guarantee a better album and quicker delivery.
