This is my first day recording the album.
Tweet
I am currently recording my third album, The Exploration of Dangerous Places. I planned for this to be similar to my last album- 6 songs, mostly guitar and voice- but I’m using rockethub to let you influence the final product.
Now, click the play button above and listen to a rough demo of me playing a pirate song by myself. If we reach the fueling goal, I will be able to record a full version with local pirate band Rant & Roar. www.rantroar.com
And for each additional $200 raised here I will be able to record an another fully produced studio song.
$200 +1
$400 +2
$600 +3
You can also choose instruments, be listed in the credits, get a personalized framed haiku, decide what songs I will record in the future, and even get the very first Jonah T-shirt.
The reason I've set the funding goal at $250 is because there are some transaction fees involved. The extra $50 is a good buffer against those fees.
Thank you very much for getting involved!
-Jonah
