Projects

Projected expenditures for albums are greatly reduced by the fact that Jennifer and Jason have a recording studio in their home. However, some recording and all mixing and mastering will have to be outsourced to a professional producer. All printing, duplication and packaging is also outsourced.

Once Upon a Time (CD)

Production 2011 | Release Goal: 2012

Budget Needed: $6,000

Jennifer’s whimsical fourth album will feature song-told stories of romance, danger, love and mystery in a dosage worthy of fairytale lore. From the 1920’s swing of Vintage Kind of Love to the unearthly melodies of Out Of The Silent Planet, Once Upon A Time is a theatrical, metaphor-laden collection of superlative songs that both The Brothers Grimm and C.S. Lewis would likely enjoy.

NOTE: Only about half these songs will make it onto the final album. Jennifer is asking for YOUR help deciding which ones. On March 20, 2011 there will be a VIP Concert at which a selection of these songs will be showcased and voted on by attendees! Visit the Tour page for more details.
