This album is part of a dream come true, now manifesting with a LOT of amazing help. It’s the culmination of a process that began in late 2014, when I got very clear in my intention of taking songwriting and performing, my greatest joy, from the periphery to the center of my life. Very shortly thereafter, things you might call “miracles” began to occur, opening a way forward. Earlier this year, through a mutual friend, I met Bil Vorndick, an uber-talented, Grammy-winning producer who has been guiding and mentoring me, and who heard enough in my songs to continue that process.
Now we are moving forward with this, my third album – and a truly unique opportunity to give these songs the kind of quality production and exposure they deserve, and which I could not provide on my own. In today’s dramatically changing market, however, that still generally means a self-funded project. My partner and I are working hard and pulling together what we can, but a sizeable margin remains between what we HAVE and what we NEED to see this through to completion, and we need your help to close that gap. Every last dime contributed will be applied toward paying these fabulous musicians, the studio, the mixing and mastering, graphics, CD duplication and so on.
In exchange for your support, at whatever level feels comfortable, there are assorted “goodies” – from pictures to signed CD’s and other cool stuff. The timelines for delivery dates on these offerings are approximate, based on an estimated date of completion. But each and every pledge will be honored as close to the dates given as is humanly possible.
Those of you who know me also know I’m a passionate advocate for social and environmental causes. One of my goals has always been to integrate the ideas that I care deeply about into my music in a way that can inspire positive change - not by preaching or judging but by celebrating the things we value and creating a world that works for everyone. If you believe, as I do, that music can be a vehicle not only for cool stories, good times and hip grooves but for inspiration and real social change, please help me in creating and manifesting that vision in a bigger way, in a way that can serve more people and the greater good.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my campaign. Now let’s go make some GREAT MUSIC!!
