A challenge from a friend, video from the studio, and Hal Ketchum joins Frio Festival

Wow, 103 pledges for the new album means…. we are halfway to the goal! Thank you so much for pledging to help make this new album.  If you haven’t pledged yet, I could really use your help in getting to the goal line.  

I should mention that the way a Pledge Music campaign works is somewhat high stakes…. If I don’t raise 100% of the goal, all the pledged amounts are returned and the project is canceled.  

I want you guys to have this new music and stuff ASAP, so thank you for your partnership on this!

If we reach 100%, all pledgers will receive both the studio album and the live album:

A second video from the studio is here, with a preview of 2 new songs “Man For All Seasons” and “Looking For Signs.” 

In this video update, filmed at the studio, I talk about a songwriter friend, Gordy Quist, who threw down a challenge that led to the songs on this album:   Could we write a song a week, every week, with no excuses?

Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing….

It’s the last call for Two Day passes…. and we have an exciting addition to the lineup of songwriters…. the great Hal Ketchum.

Playing songs this year on both Friday August 9 & Saturday August 10 will be:

Jason Eady, Hal Ketchum, Travis Linville, Walt Wilkins, and Jamie Wilson (of The Trishas), and myself.

LIFETIME PASSES FOR 2 TO THE FRIO RIVER SONG FESTIVAL

One more idea- did you know you can get lifetime passes for 2 to the Frio River Song Festival – a permanent reservation for you and a guest to every year of the annual festival?  It’s one of the rewards for backers of the new album project here

 

We would love to have you with us on the Frio in August or with us on this new album project today-
