SUCCESS!!! Dreams and Ghosts funded on Kickstarter
With a week still to go, thanks to so many, Dreams & Ghosts has now been FULLY FUNDED. This album will exist!!
There is no font big and bold enough to express the GRATITUDE I have: for your interest, your generous pledges, your valuable investment in this work. It is something I take very seriously and am honored to have earned here. THANK YOU.
With Kickstarter, artists can raise funds for their projects beyond the initial goal. For this campaign, folks are able to keep pledging and pre-ordering through the end date of April 5. With that in mind, inspired by the momentum, and DREAMING A LITTLE BIGGER, I'm setting a NEW GOAL of $10,000.
The original goal of $7500 will cover recording and replication costs. That is HUGE. After I have the CDs in hand - and make sure to get them into yours! - it's time to properly publicize its release. With this "stretch goal", the additional $2500 will go toward sharing Dreams & Ghosts with new audiences in the following ways:
Reviews and features in professional publications
Radio play around the country by the renowned Folk DJ list
Distribution to venues and other interested parties for booking
The scope of how widely I can publicize this album depends on how much money I can spend: on postage, mailing envelopes, targeted radio campaigns, and other related costs. Every additional pre-order of this album widens that scope! Pre-order here.
Because a journey like this is never done, it's important to keep setting goals and stretching yourself. That's my job on this project. You glorious Kickstarter backers have already done an essential job, as well: you've contributed at a level comfortable for you. I want to be sure that everyone who contributes is comfortable with the level they choose. Whether you have contributed or not, sharing this campaign with your community is the best way to support this project.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. This has been an incredible ride, and I'm so glad you're on it with me!
