Introduction
Hello! We are Michael Neal and Andrew Baughman and we make up the spoken word infused band September Stories.
We have finished our first 5-song EP and we are ready to hit the recording studio, Capital House Studio, with Nick Ingram and make these songs exactly how we want them. Both of us, Michael and Andrew, have had lots of experience with music throughout the years. With genres ranging from metal and it’s sub-genres all the way to light acoustic rock (Links to other projects at the bottom). We both have been very inspired to make this EP, Dreaming or Sinking, by Levi The Poet and Hotel Books. The raw emotion that both artists have in their songs, is what we’re trying to capture with our EP, while including catchy tags to make the songs very emotional, but yet still fun to sing along with.
The goal of this EP is to show all the people out there that are dealing with awful things in life, that they’re simply not alone. That there are other people out there that feel their pain and are going though, and better yet, making it through those hardships, and that there’s nothing that music can’t do. Music is simply a gift from God and we want to use it to help people through the hardest parts of their lives.
The only thing that stands in the way of us making this a reality is the money. You guys could be the start of something great that we want to bring to you.
We Need Your Help
We need to raise $3,600 to cover all of these factors: All recording, mixing, and mastering charges, cost of making physical CDs, IGG fee, lodging and food, and perks. Here's a break-down of all of the fees in making the EP:
Along with the EP, we also we will offering perks such as shirts with our logo, canvases of the album art (sizing of 10”x10” and 22”x22”), September Stories buttons that you can pin to bags and anything of your choosing, webchats, in-person hangouts, special “thank you's” in the liner notes, playing shows in YOUR OWN hometown, and even writing songs about anything of your choosing!
Even if you don’t have enough to purchase the EP, anything is honestly a TREMENDOUS help. Just $1 would honestly help us out so much, or even sharing our page on your Facebook or any other social media will play a vital role in helping us to reach our hopes and dreams that we’ve poured our heart and souls into. Anything helps!
Risks And Challenges
Making a record is not an easy task, and that's why we have specifically chosen the producer that we would like to record our EP. We feel that he knows the sound that we're aiming for, and that he will help us to further reach our goal of what we want the songs to sound like. Both of us are extremely dedicated to making this EP the best that it possibly can be in hopes that you all love what we make. With your help we will make this dream a reality and be able to get our foot in the music industry!
Thank You!
Without any of you guys this would never be possible. Thank you for taking the time to check us out and thank you for any and all donations! We’re so grateful to have people who are willing to help support our dreams and to someday make music our living. THANK YOU!
