The goal of this project is to record and release new music with my band Glitteratti. Steve Garrington has agreed to produce with Brian Joseph as engineer at his Hive Studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I have the opportunity to do the recording September 23-28th, 2019. Release of the music will follow shortly thereafter in the form of a CD and all online streamed formats (Spotify, Apple Music, etc). The goal of this project is to record and release new original music. A five song (EP) will be produced and marketed furthering my musical career (and those of my bandmates) and introducing a higher level of professionals than I have previously engaged with in the process. The requested $3,000 will be used specifically to hire Brian Joseph to engineer the project at his studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The rest of the project's expenses will be paid for by two upcoming concerts Glitteratti will perform in September of this year. The outcome will be new high-quality music that I can sell and share with the public.
With the grand money received I was able to hire engineer Brian Joseph and producer Steve Garrington to record an album of my original compositions with my band Glitteratti. I now have physical copies of this album to sell and as a professional musician this is important piece of my livelihood. It is also available for purchase (and streaming) online. However, due to Corvid-19 I have not been able to complete the release of this album with a planned tour of live shows, March 9-23. Due to the busy schedule of the other players in the band at this point we do not know when these shows will be rescheduled.
