Help Release "Dark Rain"
Donation protected
Hello Everyone!
I am super excited to announce that I will be recording my third album with some incredible musicians very soon! We have studio time reserved in the last week of June! The album is entitled "Dark Rain" and has been about 2 and a half years in the making! Of course, as you all know, making an album is no easy thing, especially financially.
I am asking for your help in raising money so I can see this project through. My goal is $1,500 but any amount helps. I will be offering incentives for those who donate! Check out the information below on the album and donation incentives.
This album will feature Amaya Arevalo on piano, Gabe Mangione on Drums, Jacob "Cubby" Phillips on guitar and myself on bass. All tracks are original compositions on mine and includes an interlude co-written with Cubby! The tracks on this album are some of my favorite that I have ever written. Many tunes have been heard at my live gigs and at the Digital Venue. Tunes like "Reach" "Radio aHead" and the tune written for my youngest niece Lila, "October Early." I cannot wait for you all to hear the final product!
Album artwork will be done by Lucas Deal and we are using the incredible professional studio here at the University of Northern Colorado. Greg Heimbecker will be our recording engineer as well.
The costs associated with this album are much more than my previous albums. Primarily due to it being recording in a professional studio! Though it costs more, the product will be well worth it. Studio time and mixing/mastering is $40 per hour which is where the bulk of your donations will be going. I also want to make sure that everyone who works on this album is properly compensated for their hard work. This is where the rest of your donations will be used. The final expense will be the smaller costs associated with recording: Covering gas for the musicians traveling, coffee in the morning, lunch break, etc.
Consider all of your donations as a pre-order of this album! Check out the donation incentives below!
Donation Incentives:
Tier 1 - $10 - Free CD
Tier 2 - $25 - Free Copy of my Second Album "Differences" + Tier 1
Tier 3 - $50 - Early Access to the Album Single + Tier 1&2
Tier 4 - $75 - Signed Copy of CD + Tier 1-3
Tier 4 - $100 - Get the Album One Week Prior Official Release + Tiers 1-4
I want to thank you all in advance for supporting this project. We could not do this without all of your help. I also want to thank everyone who will be working on this album. You all are what is going to make this project great.
Be on the lookout for the album release in "October Early"
Stay Cool, Stay Safe, and We Will See You Next Time!
Peace!
