Calling All Indie Music Angels! Pre-Order Campaign is Underway!!!
Friends, thank you for journeying with us as we continue to bring music, harmony, some joy and even respite to audiences around the world. We invite you to once again hop on board the TSG Train as one of our Indie Music Angels, participating in the Pre-Order Crowdfunding Campaign where all monies raised go towards paying off recording debts (production, mixing, mastering) and marketing and promotional costs. Some of you know that our bandleader Cara Luft is one of the pioneers of the crowdfunding model (since 1997), and simply put, without it there would be no Cara Luft or Small Glories’ albums, no Cara Luft or Small Glories’ career.
Money, as those of us who need to use it know, is more than just a medium of exchange. It’s also a vehicle for expressing what we value. Our hope is that you, our community of supporters, continue to find meaning in this way of participating in the creative economy. By giving you will be resisting the gentrification of our shared cultural lives and helping to keep diversity of music expression alive. If you believe, as we do, that home-grown and hand-made music helps make the world a better place, a place you’d rather be alive in, then this is the project for you! The details of what you can expect in return for your financial support – along with a brand new Small Glories album – are listed below, arranged on a sliding scale.
This is also your chance to receive a copy of our new album “Assiniboine & The Red” before anyone else! The official release date is June 28, but our Indie Angels will receive their copies before that! Whoohoo!
Your support and encouragement continue to mean the world to us, and we want to thank you for that. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: You make the hard work, sweat, and tears worth it – you are part of the web the universe weaves through music.
