And so it begins

A New Album... and YOU can be a part of it.

I've been thinking about how people market themselves. How artists connect with their fans, the people that really enjoy their music, and it makes sense to go to them for help and inspiration. So, i've decided to work on a new album.

It will be original material. I will post tracks as they progress (just the bare bones stuff so as not to get ripped off). And hopefully your feedback will be helpful in making a really good record. So here is the deal. I need producers, executive producers if you will. People to donate money to the cause.

My plan is this... I will "sell" producer credits on the album for $50 per credit. I will have 211 spots to fill. Now what does this mean to you? Let's see...
A signed copy of the album by myself and any guest artists on it. All donator's names listed in the liner notes and web site. Free admittance to the CD release party in one of 3 California cities and some promo shwag and other cool things as they come up. We can beat the ever "exclusive" record companies by becoming part of a new business model. The fans become the executives, they choose who they support, and if they support it. Let me know what you think.

I'm going to be setting up my studio again to start working on some new tracks. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thank you for all your support.
