The Making of Album #3!

G’day friends,

I am trying to raise $10,000 to fund the recording of my next album!

I have a WHOLE other ALBUM of material to fill your ears, hearts, heads, and souls with! I’m itching to share these new songs with you! So let’s get recording!!!

You've been super supportive, following my music all the way; Chest of Drawers has sold 2000 physical copies so far, and Little Treasures is well on the way! Your support has made all the difference!

This time, I’m doing things a bit differently. I’m using Pozible, a crowdfunding platform, to fund the making of my album.

This will be ALBUM #3!!

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

I don’t just wanna make you a cake. I don’t just wanna make you a cake with icing on top. I wanna make a chunky oozing chocolate cake with the yummiest icing, and glistening M&Ms on top!

Producer/sound engineer Sean Carey (ex Thirsty Merc guitarist) will be bringing these song babies (or.... song cakes....... I keep switching metaphors) to life, THIS OCTOBER!!!! I can’t wait to add some tasty banjo, electric guitar, drums, bass, harmonica, backing vocals, gorgeous string arrangements, and some other surprises to my songs. I’m super excited!

The album will cost around $15,000 to record:
$8000 for recording/mixing with Sean Carey
$1500 for wonderful session musicians
$1500 mastering with Don Bartley at Benchmark Studios
$1000 for graphics by Kat Leighton and others
$2400 for CD pressing at Replicat
And more....

I didn’t get around to planting a money tree in my yard this year, so I NEED YOUR HELP to invest in the music, bring the music to your ears, your living rooms, and to the rest of the world!

I’m aiming to raise $10,000 through Pozible! (2/3 of the expected cost). I’ve got stacks of GOODIES FOR SALE through Pozible: rare CD packages, tees, guitar lessons, “picking Jen’s brain” sessions, bowling dates, skype concerts, guitar making, and loads more fun stuff! Every dollar you contribute (except 5% for Pozible) goes directly towards bringing my new album to life, and bringing it to your ears! I am gigging and busking my little butt off to raise funds, but your help will make it go the distance.

Who knows, if we raise MORE than $10,000, it will mean more recording time for more songs on the album. If we raise 200% I will also be able to do an Aussie tour, and a music video! Schnazzy stuff!!

PLEDGE HERE at Pozible to invest in the making of ALBUM #3!

Visit www.jennybiddle.com for music, videos, updates and all that jazz!

Throughout the process I will keep you in the know, bloggin’ and showing you samples! Sign up to my MAILING LIST, keep in touch on Facebook and Twitter!

I’m so excited! Let’s get raisin’.

Many thank yous!!

Jenny
