We reached our SECOND crowd-funding goal! + Livestream Announced

I'm thrilled to share that we've reached our second crowd-funding goal of $5000 in our quest to create this magical animated music video! I'm so overjoyed and grateful for all the support our project has received so far, and I can't thank you enough for your kindness and contributions!

Since we've reached this second goal, we've unlocked some bonus rewards, including the creation of an "Artist Commentary Cut" and an "Interview with the Artists" video, which will be feature myself and Delaney being interviewed by the brilliant Windsor poet Vanessa Shields. These videos will be coming out in September, but contributors will be getting access to the videos as soon as they're completed!

And there's one more reward that we've unlocked: all contributors will get my entire discography as a digital download, including my earliest releases that aren't available online anymore. We just recently set up a music-listening room/library in our house, and my husband has been putting on my early recordings in the mornings lately, and it's making me both super nervous and super excited for you to get to hear my early musical roots! And of course, the discography includes all my current releases that are available on all streaming platforms, AND you'll get early access to the recording of "Why", too! The download of my discography will be sent out in August.

Now, we're setting our sights on our last and final goal: $7000. I know it's a long shot, but we've made it so far and there's still more than three weeks to go! If we reach $7000, all contributors (even at the $20 tier) will be receiving a Crissi Cochrane guitar pick, a postcard featuring an illustration of me created by Delaney, and a hand-written thank-you note in the mail. If you’ve already contributed, you can help us get there by sharing the campaign on Facebook and Twitter, and giving our posts about the campaign a "Like" or a comment if you see them pop up around social media.

Thanks again for all that you've done to help this project so far! We deeply appreciate you, and we're thrilled to be making this with the support of such a fantastic community!

And one last thing to share: I’ll be live-streaming on Facebook next weekend on Saturday, July 17! I’m hoping to play one of my early songs from my 2010 album Darling, Darling to help showcase that sweet, sweet back catalogue that crowd-funding contributors have just won access to, as well as some other new songs that I’ve been learning and working on. Join me from 9-10pm ET at facebook.com/crissicochrane!
