HELP US SHOOT A VIDEO!
Being an independent musician isn't easy. In today's music world, independent musicians must record, produce, promote and distribute music all on our own. We depend on our fans to keep us in business so we can keep on providing quality music. Recently we conducted a successful campaign via Kickstarter that enabled us to finish the mixing and mastering process of our new album, Gracia. We couldn't have completed the recording without the tremendous support of our fans! Truly thank you.
And now it's on to our next big project! Instead of using Kickstarter, we are now offering the opportunity to get involved directly via pay-pal on our website, which we hope will make it easier for our fans to participate in Gracia's release. Our next big project is to make a live video! We're so excited to have a top-quality video of what Gracia will look like on stage. We'll be recording the video at the end of March live in Tel Aviv at the Inbal Theater. We've got the crew, the musicians, and of course the new music, all lined up. Now we need help to cover the costs (a couple of plane tickets, lighting, HD cameras, space rental, art director, musicians, and editing). The price tag altogether comes to a hearty 10K, yikes! Just like our previous Kickstarter campaign, there are rewards for anyone who helps out. You can get a production credit on the video!

Today, a musician really can't survive without quality videos up on Youtube. Videos are necessary for getting concerts and festival bookings, and ultimately getting the music out into the world! The album, Gracia, is almost done, and now we need help getting it out into the marketplace. A video is the key, and you can have direct impact in helping to make it happen. Any amount will make a difference.
Thank you for your support!
