Welcome, friend! I'm so glad you are here to support me as I and the band record my new album "Roots," which will be produced by Kevin Bowe. Kevin has many accolades but is most well known for his work with prominent rock and blues artists, including Paul Westerberg and The Replacements, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the inimitable Etta James. We have been working hard on making these songs come to life!
The title "Roots" is a reflection of my thoughts and actions over the past few years - getting back to what is really important in life. I have taken on homeschooling my children, moved back to a small town in my home state of Wisconsin and figured out what music means to mean and why I do what I do. The songs on this album reflect a lot of my personal journey, with God, with healing and with music.
WHAT DOES MY PLEDGE DO?
By pledging to fund this album, you become my partner. All the money raised through this campaign will go towards production, studio costs, art design, paying musicians and manufacturing albums - in short, it all goes toward the music. By supporting this project, you are an integral part of launching my career to the next level, which continues on an exciting trajectory, thanks to great press, a busy tour schedule and incredible fan support like yours.
The music business is not what it once was, and independent musicians are doing the best they can to continue to create meaningful art to make the world a more beautiful place. But, we need your help to do that. Please find a level of support that suits you--every penny makes a difference! If you could also share the campaign with your friends and family that means the world as well.
Thank you so much for supporting this project, and please follow along for updates on Facebook and Instagram!
RISKS AND CHALLENGES
The biggest challenge in this case is the financial one. Making a great record requires a lot of cost for studio time, producing products, paying musicians, paying publicists for print and radio, paying for marketing materials and more. With your help, we can overcome this financial challenge! We are committed to making this record great no matter how much time it takes, I believe in making art that matters to me and to my community. My commitment to you is to produce something you will be proud of supporting.
