The Kickstarter Campaign is 22% closer towards Success!

in , , ,

We are at 29 backers on Kickstarter as I write this.

22% of the project is funded, with a goal of $25,000.

The current amount raised is $5,394, which I am so thankful for. The campaign ends in seven days on Sunday May 26th at 9:15PM PST . If we do not meet the goal of $25,000, I get nothing.

My friend Matt is stellar, and signed up for the $2,000 tier to host a house concert at his place in Michigan. I met him just a few months ago while playing in Nashville, Tennessee at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge. You are such a blessing my brother. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Speaking of thank you’s…

Thank you to Rudolph Finamore for joining the $750 songwriting tier along with Derek Horne! What a blessing. I met both of these Gentlemen when I was living in Fullerton, CA playing a weekly Wednesday night show at Plush Cafe. I built my first fanbase there. I am fortunate to have you both in my life. My gratitude.

My cousin Mia Whiting Thompson is extraordinary, along with my cousins Bob Whiting and Helen Terrell Whiting, all three of which signed up for the Autographed Vinyl and T-Shirt tier at $100.

My friend Nicole signed up for a $25 pledge, along with my friend Jeanine who pledged $50 for the Desert Dog T-Shirt and digital download.

Here is a link to pledge if you are interested in doing such:

Please know, your pledges do not need to be so large. Anything and everything helps to get to such a large goal. It all amounts to success. I believe in this. I want you too as well. It is amazing what can be accomplished, together.

I am leaving for the Kerrville Folk Festival to perform on Thursday May 23rd and will be there in Texas when the campaign ends, next Sunday May 26th. Fingers crossed.

This is a video I made, discussing the Kickstarter campaign in more detail, including what it is going towards and the reason why I am asking for such a substantial sum of capital to invest in my business:

A special thank you to everyone who has pledged:

Devon, Nicolassa, Dustin, Ruth, Dane, Geoff, Taylor, Don, Jonny, Michael, David, Bob & Helen, Derek, Laura, Jeff, Heather, John, Jeremy, Vince, Devan, Sigi, Susan, Matt, Tesh, and Christine.

I am a very lucky person. Thank you for being in my constellation and for allowing me to be in yours.

A New Kickstarter Campaign for DESERT DOGS

in , , , ,

Friends,

I am releasing my new album DESERT DOGS this year, and I need your help to make it a success. It can be a success. It will be a success. It is all a matter of belief. I need you to believe in it.

I have never felt as strongly about anything I have done with my life, as I do about the skills that I have harnessed as a performer and storyteller, and the work I have put into this album

I would be honored to have you be a part of it. I have been playing original music since 2005, and 2024 is the culmination of my life’s work and efforts.

I need to raise a minimum of $25,000 as capital to make this album take off. This will not just be about marketing and videos. I explain this in full detail within the Kickstarter campaign which launched on Sunday May 5th at 9:15PM. If I don’t raise $25,000 by Sunday May 25th 2024, I get nothing. This is all or nothing.

I have a label that is interested in helping me to tour festivals with a full band after hearing my song SILVER LINING, which is the first track off of this album.

I have been getting up at 4AM every day since getting back from my last tour, to work on building a Kickstarter Campaign that explains not only why I need such a large sum of money, but also explains how upside down the music industry has become, how music as an album has been unceremoniously de-commodified in the eyes of consumers, and how difficult (almost impossible) it seems to pursue a full-time career in music, while keeping a roof over one’s head.

I need the love, support, and belief of people who are in my constellation, to lift me up on their shoulders and help me to achieve what I know is possible. I feel in my heart and soul that my dreams are possible, otherwise I would have given up long before this.

I have dreams at night that tell me this same thing.

I have watched many of my contemporaries give up. I refuse to. I know what my calling in life is. It is to tour the world playing music that will be helpful to the human race. I want to help. This is how I do it. So, in turn, I need your help. Do what you can, and I will as well.

This is a video I made, discussing the Kickstarter campaign in more detail, including what it is going towards and the reason why I am asking for such a substantial sum of capital to invest in my business:

This is an all or nothing campaign. If I do not reach my $25,000 goal by Sunday, May 26 2024 9:15 PM PDT, I get nothing, and no one is charged who pledges an amount.

Thank you for your time, energy, support, and belief in my dreams in life. It is my everything. My joy. My love.
