Piano player Holly Bowling has launched crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to cover the costs of recording their new album Seeking All That's Still Unsung, an instrumental piano record of Grateful Dead music.
I've released several other solo records with the direct support of fans and the music community in the past and I love the freedom that's given me to make the records I want to make as an independent artist. My favorite part of the crowdfunding process is the personal connection it's given me to every person who helped me make the records. Crowdfunding allows this to be a team effort, with you guys directly involved in the release of this album, while also allowing you guys access to some unique perks! I'm excited to do it again.
There are a number of large ticket upfront expenses that make releasing music a challenge for me, and that's where this kickstarter comes in. Your contribution will help to cover mechanical license fees (the licensing that allows me to release covers of Grateful Dead songs and makes sure the original creators are fairly compensated), vinyl creation (vinyl is not cheap to make!) and expenses associated with the release of the album (distribution, marketing, publicity and more!).
