TRUST: An EP for Erica

Hello Friends,

My name is Ryan Tremblay and I am a Christian recording artist from Newport, Rhode Island. As some of you may or may not know, my sister, Erica Shea, passed away on June 23rd, 2015 from Breast Cancer...

Erica and Ryan - December 2014

Erica was diagnosed in December of 2014 and was fourteen weeks pregnant when she received the news. Despite many risks, she chose to continue her pregnancy and against all medical odds, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl on April 29th, 2015. Erica and her husband, Joshua, named their precious little miracle Eleanor "Ella" Gianna Shea...

Erica and Ella - April 2015

Erica LOVED music and always encouraged me as a singer/songwriter. She was a fan of many artists including James Taylor, Amy Grant, and Michael W. Smith, and would often listen to music for inspiration. She believed in me and supported me in my dream of spreading the Good News through song...

Now, in honor of my sister, I'd like to make this record to share her story and give glory to God as she always did...And I want to do it in the biggest way possible! So for this project, I've asked one of my musical heroes, drumming legend Steve Gadd, to take part. He, along with a group of several A-list musicians, have agreed to be a part of this project, but first, I need your help...

In order to complete this project, I will need to raise $20,000. This money will go towards the cost of the amazing studio musicians, studio time, the recording engineer, mixing/mastering, transportation to and from Los Angeles, food, lodging, production, and the wonderful perks for all of the contributors. Any left over proceeds will be donated to Cade and Ella's college fund - A special fund for Erica and Joshua's two children.

Here are some examples of the exciting perks we're happy to be offering to those who contribute to this project...

An Autographed CD

An Autographed Limited Edition GREEN Vinyl Record

A Limited Edition Autographed Poster


The TRUST Lyric Book

T-Shirts and Long Tee

If we do not reach the $20,000 goal, we will be forced to look at other options for seeing this project through to completion, but just like Erica, we're shooting for the moon first...We've got nothing to lose!

The Impact

Every dollar raised in this campaign will bring us one step closer to honoring Erica in a unique and powerful way. The end result will be a special keepsake for everyone who knew her and loved her, as well as for those who still have yet to hear her amazing story.

Risks & Challenges

The biggest challenge of this campaign will be raising the total amount of funds needed to see this project and its perks through to completion. While $20,000 may sound like a lofty goal at first, I believe achieving this goal is MORE than possible.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you cannot contribute monetarily to this campaign, you can still help us out by spreading the word to friends and family, co-workers and others who may be interested in supporting us in this project. Feel free to email, tweet, post, blog and share...The more the merrier!!

In conclusion, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with such world-class talent on this project and I know that every penny will be put to good use. The music and other perks will certainly speak for themselves when all is said and done and we will be thrilled to share this project with the world!

Thank you in advance for your support and for helping to make this dream come true! Without you, it wouldn't be possible...

Peace, Love, and Blessings,
Ryan
