I am so excited about this batch of songs. I think they are by far my best writing yet and the response to them has been incredible. A while back I asked Producer and Bass player Zack Hickman to produce my next record and he said yes! Not only did he agree to take the project but he is as excited as I am and believes strongly in the material. Zack plays with Singer/Songwriter, Josh Ritter and has produced albums for artists such as Mark Erelli. He’s the real deal and I don’t believe there could be a better fit for this record.
Right now it’s all about the independent artist. Artists are producing and releasing music on their own and with the help of there communities. I am now turning to my supporters and people who believe in the power of independence and in music. You are as much a part of my music as I am and I am honored and humbled to know that you are out there. It’s amazing to me the communities that artists are able to create these days. I’ve had a blast reading all the posts on my Facebook “fan page” and I will respond to every one. I love that you are all involved in my music. I love that you take ownership for the music that you love. Rather than an artist trying to make it alone, it becomes a whole community all trying to make it together.
It is in this spirit that I appeal to you for help. I am going in to the studio on August 17th and I hope to have the record out by November 6th. I have worked out a system of donation levels, each offering different perks, for those willing to get on board with this grass roots effort. If you have any questions, I urge you to get in touch with me directly. email me at chris@chrisobrienmusic.com.
