Hi everyone! This is Spencer Day and
I'm here, going strong, five albums under my belt, and ready to produce my next with YOU (the fans) in mind. My next concept album is called Angel City! This
project is something I have envisioned for the last 15 years. That's right, 15
years! However, it won’t make itself and that is where I could
use your help.
As many of you know, I'm an independent singer-songwriter and have been making music professionally for 12 years. This will be my fourth independent release and I’m thrilled to be writing and recording again with a TON of brilliant musicians(hint hint, Budman-Levy Orchestra from the last album Daybreak). I've been working on the tracks 72 and Sunny, Riding On a Broken Dream, and a new version of Movie of Your Life. Angel City will have all original songs with one or two
reimagined favorites specifically for all my Indiegogo contributors.
Being an independent artist means I have so much more
direct communication with YOU, my fans. You are my patrons, my
inspiration, and I couldn’t do any of the music I do without you. The ongoing support and persistence of fans like you has led to radio play, bigger venues, and international tours. Successfully reaching my goal of $50,000 will help me continue on this path, produce the album,
pay the musicians and my team, promote the album, continue to tour, and make new videos.
It's just us and the music! No rules and no fuss. Let's get down to it, shall we?
The Perks
Now for the best part! The list of some of the perks you'll receive along with a chart showing my production expenses. There's something for everyone whether you donate $10 or $10,000. We've got:
- Pre Release Deluxe Digital Download with exclusive tracks!
- Signed Limited Edition CDs, signed music charts, and handwritten lyrics!
- VIP tickets for two, VIP backstage access, or VIP access to sound check!
- Pick a song that you want to hear and I will personally record a video for you!
- Visit a LIVE recording session!
- Acoustic House Concerts!
Even though I've assembled a tasty variety of perks, I also know that there are some of you that may want to put a significant portion of money towards the project. SO: for you more invest-y types, please contact us at spencerdayangelcity@gmail.com.
A bit of fine print:
In the event that I don't reach my entire goal, which is unlikely, your contributions will still go towards producing Angel City and you will receive your Perks. My team and I will post updates regularly and make adjustments as needed during the campaign to keep you all posted on our progress. We will respond to your questions and emails 24 hours from the time received.
**Shipping costs will be added at checkout. Please bear this in mind when you look at the prices. We are using Priority and Priority International shipping to get your items to you in the most secure and speedy way possible.
Let's get back to it. You might be wondering about...
The Impact of Your Support
I've always felt a strong connection to older and some what unknown artists. One of these inspiring artists is Martha Graham. One of the 20th century's most influential modern dancers and choreographers. She said, as an artist, "It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. All of YOU "keep the channel open" for me.
Last year's album Daybreak was a great success thanks to all of you. Your continued support will allow me to produce music for you. Your contribution will make this recording possible. With your help I can make this pipe dream into reality!
Risks & Challenges
The biggest risk, of course, is that you contribute to a product that you end up not liking, but I'm taking a safe bet that if you like my previous five albums you will really like this, and I see it as an extension of my evolution as an artist. Our main hurdle comes down to making sure we have raised the correct amount to see this project through. This is why we are aiming for such a solid number.
Other Ways You Can Help
The biggest compliment someone can pay an independent artist is to give a personal recommendation to a friend. A heartfelt recommendation from a friend is the most coveted and valuable thing there is for an artist. Helping me spread the word to other people who would like what I do is an in valuable gift. Let's do this!
Thank you for your support,
Spencer
