Last Day To Reach 10 Songs
116% funded. $21,040 raised. 254 backers. 16 hours left.
You're making my dreams come true.
At last, we're approaching the end of this Kickstarter campaign. At midnight tonight, it will be over. It's been a thrilling and deeply affirming experience for me, and now I'm ready to transition from a season of telling everyone about my album to a season of making that album.
But that season begins tomorrow, not today. Because today, my Kickstarter is still live. And even in these next 16 hours (at the time I write this), we have the opportunity to influence the shape of this album. We're a mere $960 away from reaching our stretch goal of $22,000, which would allow me to add two songs to this album, taking it from 8 songs to 10 songs.
When I was first planning for this Kickstarter campaign, I made a couple of difficult cuts to my creative vision in order to arrive at the feasible funding goal of $18k. And now, I'm on the edge of being given the financial margin to add back in the songs I had to take out. I'm hoping now that I'll be able to make this album without any creative compromises—a full 10 songs, just how I had initially dreamed of it.
I've asked so much of you over the past month, and you've risen above and beyond the occasion repeatedly. But in these final hours, I'm going to boldly ask one more thing: let's hit this stretch goal of $22k and add two more songs to There Will Be Surprises. If you've already given to the Kickstarter, I ask that you'd consider giving a few dollars more. If you haven't yet given, every little bit counts today and I would be so grateful for your support.
It's been such a wild ride, and I'm beside myself with gratitude for your listening ears and your generous support. I can't wait to share this album with you when it's finished, no matter how many songs it contains.
Peace to you,
Drew
