Where the project is at so far.

My new CD is going to be called HUCKSTER and it will be a collection of acoustic tracks featuring ukulele. The tracks will be recorded "live off the floor" with no overdubs. There will be some loop work (drum beats and rhythm tracks) but that will be created ahead of time and played live along with the main instrument and vocal performance.
The journey to this project has been a long one but we're almost there. Along the way I moved provinces, had equipment upgrades to contend with as well as writing and re-writing songs but I'm happy to announce that I'm almost done the recording and this is going to be one great ukulele blues recording.
1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's all or nothing: if I don't reach my financial goal, you get your money back
I've got the recording budget all I'm asking for is the manufacturing money so that the CD can get mass produced.
