Hi friends,

Here’s where we are: $35,737 raised. 79% funded. 15 days left. That’s strong. That’s close. And… we’ve only had 3 new backers in three days.

Cue breathing into paper bag.

First, if you’ve already backed this album: thank you. You’re the reason we’re anywhere near this number. You’ve carried this thing forward and I don’t take that lightly.

And for those of you following along, cheering, watching from the sidelines — I see you too!!! I’m so grateful you’re here.

I have a theory. We hit 70% so fast that maybe from the outside it looks like we’re cruising. Like, “Oh, she’s basically there!”

But here’s the truth: 78% isn’t the finish line.

Campaigns don’t fund because they look close. They fund because people decide to step in.

The middle stretch is where momentum either builds or fades. If you’ve been thinking you might back it later, I would really, really love for you to jump in. If you’ve been excited about this new album, curious about it, rooting for it, your pledge right now genuinely helps determine how this story goes.

So here’s our mini-goal: let’s hit 85%!

This is totally reachable!!! Eighty-five percent doesn’t feel like “almost.” It feels like the final stretch!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. It means everything.

P.S. I quietly added a couple new rewards this week, including a back catalog + signed CD bundle and a custom cover song tier. If you’ve been wanting something a little extra (or thinking about upgrading), they’re live now!
