I'm excited. Are YOU excited?
My name is Annie Dressner. I am a singer/songwriter from NYC. As some of you may know, I have been recording my first full-length album for about a year now with guitarist, producer and generally pretty chill dude, Anthony Rizzo from the band Little Embers & his trusty assistant, Clarence the cat. The album is going to be done in about a month (...now you are getting a bit more excited... no?).
Who else is on the record? To name a few... Dan Kendall, Kevin Hudson, Paul Goodwin, Chris Fisher-Lochhead & Steph Allen.
I really don't want this album to only be heard by my network of people. While I love you, I really want people that I know, that you know and that none of us know to hear it. For that to happen, I need to hire a PR person.
I have come up with some prizes that hopefully will put a smile on your face.
Even if you can't contribute for prizes, spreading the word to your pals is MUCH apprecaited. Thank you for your support!
Xx,
Annie
