I’m Steve Rondo — an independent artist out a small town called Nahant on the north shore of Massachusetts. After years of developing as an artist song by song, I need your help bringing the next chapter into the world. I recently announced my forthcoming tour titled 'Wrapped Up In A Feeling' and it is about chasing something larger — real experiences, connection, and what makes us feel most alive. The next album comes from that same spirit. This feels like a continuation, not a reset — building on years of playing shows, festival stages, and our first full-length record.

But making a real studio album — production, mixing, mastering — costs many thousands of dollars. Traditionally, that’s often carried by label support. As an independent artist, it falls on me. And I can’t financially do it alone. So I’m opening up a community-funded campaign for anyone who wants to help bring this record to life. I want the people who help make it possible to be part of the artifact itself — with supporter names printed on the back of the future vinyl release. I love the idea of this record carrying the names of people who believed in it before it existed.

If these songs have meant something to you, I’d be honored to have you be part of making the next album. Every contribution helps bring this record to life and keeps the spirit of independent music alive. I will be contributing all tips made at shows this summer to the album as a play 5-6 gigs a week! we are in this together! Thank you for believing in this journey and for helping shape the next chapter.
