We are Greg Greenway, Joe Jencks, and Pat Wictor, collectively known as Brother Sun.  If you’re coming to this website, you probably know us and enjoy our music already - thank you!  If not, start here to get to know us:  http://brothersun.com/about  We are inviting our fans and listeners to help finance our third CD, to be released on or before early April 2016.  

We formed a group five years ago because we heard something special in the way our voices combine in harmony.   Our first CD was aimed at introducing to the world the power of our voices together.   Our second CD, “Some Part of the Truth,” helped show us as complete musicians, with intricate arrangements, tasty instrumental solos, and adding new instruments to our palette.  We are now working on our still-untitled third CD, and we are all breaking new ground as songwriters, tackling subject matter we haven’t touched before, moving into new genres as a group, and taking our poetic exploration a step farther.

For all of us, music is bigger and greater than entertainment.  We want to make music that is part of the world's great and chaotic conversation, that opens hearts, troubles minds, affirms joy, acknowledges sorrow, and leaves people feeling lighter.  This CD is an important way for our music to be out in the world contributing to that conversation. 

Here's where you come in.  Your help can make this CD everything that it needs to be:  great-sounding, well-designed, well-promoted, and done on our time frame:  April 2016 or earlier!  

It will take a minimum of $10,000 to pay for studio time, mastering, photography, and artwork.  To do a radio campaign and highly targeted advertising, we'll need to raise more, $15,000 or better - we want to exceed our stated goal!  Folks who pre-purchase the new CD or contribute $20 or more will receive the CD in the mail before it's available at Brother Sun shows.  There will be additional perks for those who contribute more.  

You can also do something very valuable that we can't do:  tell your friends and family about our music, bring them to a show, and invite them to help fund this CD.  There are tools on this page for sharing over facebook and other social media - feel free to use them.  Thanks for reading this far, and for your support.
