Jen's Folk Newsletter: Album Update & Kickstarter!
I am just giddy with anticipation… the last rehearsals with the chorus and with the band are all scheduled; the recording date is paid for and rapidly approaching, and I’m working hours every day, rehearsing, and planning.
Announcement Number One: The Album Has A Name!
“I’ll Be Right Here, Too!”
The title track, “I’ll Be Right Here, Too”, is a massive queer anthem, but it carries so much than that: a rallying cry that says in so many words, we will not be moved, and whether you’re all by your own self, or in a crowd of thousands, if you’re singing along, you’ll never be alone.
Announcement Number Two: Crowdfunding!
I humbly introduce to you, my Kickstarter campaign.
At times this project sometimes feels like an extravagance — despite the urgency with which it is calling to be made. So, after some long nights, I decided that this was a necessary piece of the puzzle.
I’ve put together some fun rewards at different levels, including original art work, hand-lettered lyrics sheets, and a custom five song, one-take album, just for you!
Thanks for everything, friends. I am humbled by your presence, and your continued support.
As an early thank you, I offer you this sneak preview of one of the early choir rehearsals.
You can always listen to the best of my music online for free at Bandcamp, and some very rough drafts and one-offs (and a few hidden treasures) at SoundCloud.
Love, light, and song
