Released by @willleet today . . . "Satan & the Sailor," a superbly-produced imaginative song with spectacular cover art and an uplifting bluegrass melody that stands in marked contrast to the mood prevailing at the time the song was conceived!

P.S. With "Satan & the Sailor," Will makes his debut on the Alive with Clive playlist on @spotify. So now you can vote every day for the song to move into the Top 4 of the playlist -- and have its gorgeous cover art seen by lots of people in the Featured Image for the playlist -- at https://alivewithclive.tv/vote

‘Satan & the Sailor’ is out in the world today, everywhere you listen to music. We wrote this song in June 2020, staring into the void. It was an anchor of sorts. How do you reconcile the grief and the pain the world was experiencing and choose to keep on singing? At least that’s the only way I know how. It brings me great joy to finally release this into the universe, and I hope it resonates with you. (link in bio)

Get a load of the personnel on this!

#Repost @willleet with @get_repost ・・・ Hi friends! I am excited to announce that I am launching a Kickstarter on March 4th for my first full length record ever! • • • In December, I began recording several years worth of material with my band *to tape* at Dreamland Studios. The experience of recording at this beautiful, historic church in the Catskills was like no other, and I am thrilled to say that we have the foundations laid for about 7 songs! • • • However I am at a standstill at the moment because I cannot afford to book additional studio time at Dreamland and bring in the arsenal of top-notch musicians that I need to make this record as great as I imagine. I also will need to budget out a good chunk of change to mix and master the record properly because… I care about these songs more than anything. They speak dually to my experience and to that of my writing partner, @chrisburnsct. They are stories of our intertwining journeys through our 20s, and of all of the characters we've met along the way. Time feels like it’s moving so fast lately, but I know deep down to my core that I have to nail this down before I turn 30. Therefore, I am launching my first ever @kickstarter campaign to get this thing done! If you donate, not only will you receive a shiny record, merch, or even a house concert in return; you will be a lifelong, irreplaceable part of my journey • • • You can find a link to the pre-launch page in my bio, where you can select to be notified upon the launch on March 4th. Thank you for continuing to believe in me all of this time. I love you all! xoxo ❤️
