With your help this will be the best Lindy album ever!

Hello this is Lindy. I've had the pleasure of being a musician for my whole life. You may have seen me perform live, heard my songs on the radio, seen me on TV, or discovered me through the Internet. I've had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people in my travels. It is solely because of your support that I'm able to continue to do what I do, and for that support, I'm eternally grateful.
Over the years, I've recorded five solo albums, plus an album and two EPs with my band Major Maker. After a two-year break, It's time for me to make a new record. This time, I want to dig into my roots as a folk singer, and create a deeper connection than ever before with my audience.
I'm so excited about this new crowdfunding model, because I can now directly involve you in the recording process. I've come up with a set of packages to reward you for your pledge at any level. These range from a digital download for every $10 pledge, to exclusive merchandise, and customized experiences at higher levels of contribution. I want to make this as fun and rewarding for you as possible. With your help, this will be the record of my lifetime!
As a contributor, you'll also get exclusive access to the recording process, with special updates, videos, and previews of the album as it takes shape.
And finally, some details about the mechanics from the site:
1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
