Rachel's Kickstarter Update

This has been kind of a thrill ride and it's only five days in. It turns out that Rachel has lot of shockingly generous friends, and a few of these pledges have just made her day. But the project has a long way to go.

Rachel Kiel Is Making Another Album



Rachel Kiel, very dear to my heart, is getting the funding together for her next album, which will be her second. She's using Kickstarter, a crowdsourcing website, to fund it because she's gotta pay session musicians and pay for studio time and pay her producer, Jerry Brown, who I hear is an expert, and pay for mixing and mastering and production and all that stuff. She's gonna be working in the Rubber Room in Chapel Hill, which I hear Bland Simpson loves, and Bland Simpson is also dear to our hearts just like Rachel, isn't he?

Anyway, I'm really excited about the songs Rachel's got for this cd, and I've already made a pledge over on her Kickstarter page, which you can visit below. I urge you to consider doing the same; you don't have to pledge much to get both of her albums as a reward for funding this one. You give money, you get stuff, you fulfill her dream.
