Emily's Album Fund

For my entire life, I've been in love with music. I've been writing songs since I was 9 and I taught myself to play guitar when I was 12. I've written hundreds of songs and made an effort to record a fraction of them in a makeshift music studio set up in my bedroom.

This coming summer will be my last full summer at home, so the timing is perfect. This summer I want to spend my last four months of freedom recording a full-length, professionally produced album.

Unfortunately, with the cost of post-secondary education these days, it's going to be difficult to afford studio time, CD production, distribution, and even the photo sessions for the album cover and booklet. That's why I'm here: I'm asking for some help from my family, friends, supporters, and music lovers in general (especially country music lovers!). With your donations, I can make this lifelong dream of mine a reality.

I’ll start working on the album in May 2017 and it will be released in the fall of 2017 (most likely October/November). If it goes according to plan, it'll consist of 12 tracks: 10 original country songs, and 2 covers of some very familiar and beloved country songs. An album has been my dream since I was 2 years old, and this is finally the perfect time to make it happen!

I'm hoping to raise $2,000 from this campaign, although the total costs of the album will be over $5,000. Any donations will be greatly appreciated. You'll be helping to make this country girl's wildest dreams come true, and I'll be forever thankful if you contribute, or even just share this page with your friends and followers!
