Julie Christensen: Home

And I think that's my LUCKY day!

The mixes sound magnificent, and I'm so proud of this new record.

I know it's been a long time coming.

Thank you to all my supporters and donors to the project. I won't let you down.

We still have to get the artwork finalized, and manufacture the physical product, and there's still time to get into my list of supporters, because we still need funds for that phase now. Here's the link where you can donate directly:

 

 

I'll be using the talent, smarts, and general goodwill of my friends at theconnextion.com for the distribution of my new release on Household Ink, and for my back catalog, as well.  

It looks like we're on track for our projected release date of Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 for our new album, "Weeds Like Us". And that's thanks to your continued support.

Thanks to all the donors over the last couple years, and our successful kickstarter.com campaign, we've been in pre-production since March, and tracked three songs with a stellar band on August 24th in Highland Park at the Hobby Shop . My producer, Jeff Turmes, played bass. Don Heffington was on drums, and Rick Holmstrom and Josh Grange played guitars. Peter Malick is our engineer, and we'll be working with him Wed. Sept 7th and 28th laying down some acoustic stuff. I'm very excited about the material on this album, and can't wait to get it out to you! Watch for it this winter. 

This year, I plan to get back on the horse and finally record a more stripped-down acoustic album of music.

Our community lost a great friend in Kenny Edwards, who was set to produce my new album, and it's taken awhile to regroup. But I've got lots of new songs that I'm excited to sing and share with you, and I'm finding my way to make this happen with a new producer, my old friend Jeff Turmes , who is touring of late with Mavis Staples and band.

In order to make this a reality, I need to manifest over $9000. We're already about 25% of the way there! A big thank you to all who've contributed so far, because I still have what you've given directly to my site through paypal. It would be fine if you choose to donate directly at the paypal link below, but even better right now to pledge to our kickstarter campaign by clicking on this widget below. The reason is because we would be well funded if we make that goal by July 27 and able to start recording right away in August and September.

I know these are tough times, but would you consider donating to my new album project? Any amount will help, but anything at $20 and above will get you a free signed copy when it's done. So here's a link to take you to Paypal and help us make this new music happen. I'll do right by ya. (And any premiums you signed up for at the old kickstarter fundraiser from last year will be honored here if you donate again--just remind me-- since that didn't fund--I appreciate all your pledges --$3,000 worth, but they were pledges only and the money did not come through. Better yet, pledge to the new one, since if we make or exceed your goal, this will all happen much sooner! )
