Ali McGuirk Debut ALBUM!! (And EP)
Donation protected
This GoFundMe started as a way to make sure we had our costs covered for the first 4 tracks that we have recorded to share with the world. Within 48 hours we achieved that original goal. Never in a million years did I expect that kind of rapid generosity from so many of you! Biggest hearts this side of the Mississippi!!!
We are so encouraged by this that we are going back to the studio this November BEFORE CILLA MOVES TO LA on Dec. 1 (Yes that's happening and it's real and we need to start processing this like, yesterday) and in order to do that we still need your help!!
the album will be: tracks from the imminent EP, tracks from our session at Herd Studio October 14, tracks from the studio time we are hoping to book with your support!!!
For the rest of this full length album, we'll need to pay for:
-more studio time
-more sound engineering, more mastering, and producing of the sessions
-CD duplication, and printing
-mailing costs
-fair pay to all the talented musicians who we adore (that's a lotta mouths to feed)
-fair payment for album art
-posters, tshirts and fun merch seed money
-online distribution costs
This stuff ain't cheap and I promise that every penny donated will go towards making this music sparkle so that we can keep playing the music we love for you forever.
A full length album is a life's goal that I've dreamed of for 28 years (sept 20th ) and I never expected how much it would take to get there and how many others would be dreaming for it with me.
See original campaign below for what your donation gets you!!!! (They're good prizes people.)

It's kind of surreal to think that I'm finally sharing some recorded material with the world. After performing for almost 10 years with 1000's of gigs under my belt, I think I'm finally ready! We've now got a 4 track, self titled EP, ready for your listening pleasure!
September 20, these tracks are going on sale!
October 14, we will be celebrating at Herd Studio in Roxbury, MA with a live performance, including new full band material and YOU as the live studio audience. This performance will be recorded and parts of it will be used for our eventual full length album!
(space may be limited!)
You guys are the best community a girl could ask for and I appreciate how supported I already feel by all the wonderful people who come out to see our shows week in and week out. Your donation will be used to ensure our financial survival by covering costs like:
- production, sound engineering, mastering and studio time
-fair payment to all musicians and artists
-printing costs
-mailing costs
Your donation wont just get you warm and fuzzies in your belly. Here is what you get:
$10 - digital download of the EP (after September 20)
$15 - EP mailed to your door
$25 - EP mailed to your door with a cute note & present
$50 - EP and T-Shirt mailed to you door
