- Now, after 5 years of writing and honing the material, I’m asking for your help to bring my new CD to life. It’s called “Upon this Rock”; a collection of 13 songs about people, places and time involving love, connections or lack thereof.
- While staying true to my powerpop/rock genre, this particular album has strong Country and Americana influences.
-
The new CD contains some of the best songs that I've ever written. All I’m looking to do is give the world an opportunity to hear them the way I hear them in my head and perform them on stage with my band, Stolen Lions.
- Although it’s my name on the upcoming CD, it is very much a collaborative effort with some amazing talents. Greg Dann, who co-produced Hurricane Season, will be with me once again and I’ll be recording at his studio, “Rockpile Recording”.
- Some of the same musicians from Hurricane Season will be featured on the new album. The majority of these tracks will be performed by my friends and band mates from “Stolen Lions”; John “Jazz” Abbott on Bass & vocals, Mike Lindberg on vocals, keys, sax, banjo, etc…..and also Pete Malaquias on drums, percussion and vocals.
- Jeff Lipton and Peerless Mastering will be once again putting the finishing touches before it will be distributed to all the major services such as: iTunes, E-Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon, CD-Baby , etc… through Disc Makers out of Philadelphia, PA.
- In an ideal world, all of these costs would be covered by a recording label against sales but, as most of you know, that’s not the case for most music released today.
-
These are the reasons why I've come to this platform to ask for your help in creating and funding this project. My goal is to reach $5000 in a 40 day period. The cost will cover the cost of studio time, featured musicians, mastering, CD manufacturing, distribution and shipping costs.
- By helping and donating to this project, you will be receiving various perks and prizes for your involvement such as: CD’s, T-shirts, signed photos, song dedications, house concerts and more!
Thank you all for being such great fans and supporters……..I truly appreciate everything.
Even if you're not able to donate, please pass this on to your friends.
Here's a great math equation & breakdown:
- 900 people donate $5.56 each = my goal
- 500 people donate $10 each = my goal
- 400 people donate $12.50 each = my goal
- 350 people donate $14.29 each = my goal
- 300 people donate $16.66 each = my goal
- 250 people donate $20 each = my goal
- 200 people donate $25 each = my goal
I have at least over 700 friends + there are fans I'd like to eventually meet. I really think we can do this together!
Your friend,
Steve Caraway
