Help Zane Make A Record

Dear friends,

I feel like my twenties have been an endless cycle of me asking the question, "What am I here for?" I thought that by the time I was nearing thirty, married, and having three kids, I wouldn't be asking existential questions about purpose anymore. But 2020, in all its craziness, has made it so. 

Throughout each season of change there have been a few constants. My faith, the support of my wife, and music. I've been a musician for 15 years. My resume is built on supporting others endeavors and helping make their songs come to life, but never my own. 

But three years ago, my daughter was born. As I sat by her bed in a NICU for 3 weeks, I began to write songs. Of my childhood, of suffering, of faith, and of hope. Of my love for God, for my family, and for others. That's why my record will be titled Breezewood; the road that I grew up on and where my story began. 

I feel a responsibility to make this record. For the first time in my life, I have confidence knowing that I was given a voice and creative mind to bring strength and revelation to my brethren through what I make.  This is that for which I was made.  

I would not be who I am if not for all of you. Each one of you has had some hand, big or small, in writing my story. I am grateful for all of it. Now I am asking you to come together for me one more time.

The cost of this project in full is roughly $9,000. I will be recording the week of August 24-28 in Nashville with an amazing producer named Brendan who will help steer where and how the songs need to take shape.That money goes towards paying for production of the record as well as mixing and mastering of the tracks.

Becca and I(while working and raising kids) have scrapped and saved enough to cover half of it, but we are taking the step to ask for your support to help make this dream of mine come true. I have no wishes to go on tour for extended amounts of time away from my family, or sell a ton of records, but to simply get these songs out to the people who need to hear them. 

Any amount given is monumental. If you decide to give, expect a phone call from me showering you in gratitude and plenty of highlights from the recording process. I am incredibly thankful for you taking the time to read this and for your support. Can't wait for you tohear the final product.

With love,

Zane
