The W Lovers - Music.
Hi there, we are The W Lovers. An alt-country, Americana musical duo from Bothell, Washington and we're looking for help to record our first album.
Last year we played 125 shows and we've already played nearly 50 this year which is a lot for a band with no CD. We've been so busy and focused on playing shows that we've overlooked, perhaps, the most important thing about being a band; THE CD!
We feel like we have some really great songs and we want to share them with you. We are itching to get into the studio and we've decided that we want our friends and fans, to be involved in the process. So we're reaching out for your help.
The CD
We have 20 original songs to present to a producer and we're hoping to choose the best 12 songs for a CD and record them professionally. From there, we want to release two singles to radio and then release the CD.
What we need help with.
We are seeking help with covering the costs of the recording, pressing of CD's (singles and albums) and shipping costs to help get our CD out to you and to radio stations nationwide. Here's our breakdown.
*Recording, mixing and mastering is going to cost around $10,000. We are being super optimistic that this will include a producer too.
*Pressing 1000 copies for promotion and for contributors will cost around $2000 (Quoted through CD Baby). Hoping to include pressing of singles in this cost.
*Artwork, design and layout of the CD $500
*Promotion of the CD - Radio Plugging and PR $1000
*Shipping to contributors worldwide and also shipping for radio promotion across the United States $1500
