I'm making a new record
The music & us | Back to the magic
From Fans to Community
This isn’t just a campaign to press a piece of wax. It’s an exit strategy from the corporate algorithm and an entry into something shared. I left the label and management structure behind because I realized the industry standard path takes the magic out of the music.
Two things matter to me: The Music and You. This campaign is about stripping away the corporate middlemen and building a record from the ground up, live-off-the-floor, raw, and honest. Every tier below gives you a piece of this project, but more importantly, it brings you directly into the community making it possible.

The Ottawa "Aussie BBQ" Sizzle & Acoustic Hang
Let’s keep things simple, slow-paced, and community-driven. Grab a spot and join me for a classic, laid-back afternoon in a local Ottawa park for a proper Australian-style Sausage Sizzle and an unplugged performance.
What you get:
The Physical Artifact Bundle: Both the Signed Physical Vinyl and the Signed Physical CD shipped straight to you upon release, plus the early digital download as soon as mastering is finished.
The BBQ Hang: A classic sausage sizzle (snag on white bread with onions and sauce) and a cold can of soft drink on a summer afternoon.
The Music: An exclusive, completely unplugged storytellers acoustic performance right there in the park.
This is a 2-hour casual hangout strictly capped at just 10 supporters. No stage, no massive crowd—just good food, honest conversation, raw music, and all the physical media from this record in one package.
(Note: Held locally in the Ottawa area. Date and park location will be finalized and emailed to backers for Summer 2026. Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout for your vinyl and CD copies!)

Fund the record now, and secure a live stop on the upcoming tour path.
I want to take this album on a tour built by the community, played inside the community. By choosing this tier, your upfront contribution goes 100% into the studio recording budget right now—directly paying for the session musicians, tracking engineers, and independent production.
What you get:
A locked-in live show stop on the upcoming album tour path.
A Signed Physical Vinyl Copy of the new album shipped straight to you upon release.
How the funding and the show work:
Choose Your Backing: This tier uses a "Pay-What-You-Want" scale starting at a minimum of $300. Every dollar stays in the project permanently to fund the raw creation of the record.
The Live Show: When the album is ready and the tour launches, you provide the space (living room, backyard, or community space) and host the gathering.
The Ticket Split: We will set up a ticketed link for your guests at standard house concert pricing ($30 to $45 a ticket, depending on your space's capacity). To honor your upfront investment, the first $250 generated from those ticket sales goes directly back to you, the host. Every single ticket sold after that baseline goes to me to cover the live travel & performance fee.
Because of the premium ticket price point, it only takes a handful of guests for you to fully recover your initial backing. By filling the room, your community offsets your contribution, you get an exclusive show in your home, and we ensure the music is fully sustained from the studio to the stage.
(Note: This minimum pricing applies strictly to locations within a 900km radius of Ottawa within Canada—covering Ontario and parts of Quebec. No U.S. dates can be booked through this tier. Exceptions to the travel radius will be made if multiple shows are booked concurrently anywhere else in Canada. If you reside outside the 900km zone, please use the contact form on my site to message me regarding custom routing/travel considerations before purchasing!)

Campaign Logistics & Fine Print
Shipping and Physical Media Production
Digital Album Delivery: All backers (Tiers 1 through 7) will receive a secure email link to download the high-quality, fully mastered digital album on Friday, November 27, 2026—well ahead of the public release.
Vinyl and CD Manufacturing: Because we are completely independent and prioritizing custom, high-quality physical pressings, manufacturing lead times for vinyl records average 6 to 8 months. Signed CDs and Limited-Edition Vinyl are expected to ship in Spring 2027.
Shipping Addresses: Please ensure your shipping and email addresses are updated and accurate at checkout. You will receive transparent email updates tracking our progress at the vinyl pressing plant throughout the winter. All pre-orders are final sales to fund production.
Tier 6: Liner Notes Bundle Deadline
Cutoff Date: To meet the graphic design, layout, and printing deadlines for the physical vinyl and CD printed inserts before we enter the studio, Tier 6 will permanently close on July 15, 2026. Names cannot be added to the physical packaging artwork after this date.
Tier 5: Ottawa "Aussie BBQ" Sizzle Stipulations
Location and Date: This event will be held locally within the Ottawa area on an afternoon in Summer 2026.
Scheduling: Once the 10 available slots are filled, an email will be sent to all ticket holders to coordinate a weekend date that works for the group and to announce the exact park location.
Weather Policy: In the event of severe weather, a rain date will be scheduled immediately, or the gathering will be moved to a covered local pavilion.
Tier 7: "Community Tour" Live Show Stipulations
The Upfront Funding: Your initial backing fee (Minimum $300+) is a non-refundable contribution that goes 100% directly into the studio tracking and production budget to pay our session musicians and engineers this September.
Geographic Boundaries: The baseline minimum pricing applies strictly to destinations within a 900km driving radius of Ottawa within Canada (covering Ontario and parts of Quebec). No U.S. dates can be booked under this tier due to international visa, border, and tax logistics.
Radius Exceptions: Exceptions to the 900km limit will be made if multiple hosts in the same region (e.g., Eastern or Western Canada) book concurrent shows, allowing for a sustainable, routed tour path. If you live outside the 900km radius, please use the website contact form to message me before purchasing to discuss routing options.
The Venue: The host is responsible for providing the space (such as a living room, backyard, loft, or community space), inviting guests, and setting up the private atmosphere.
The Ticket Split Mechanics: We will set up a custom, trackable ticketing link for your guests, recommended at $30 to $45 per ticket depending on your space's capacity. Every dollar generated from those public guest ticket sales goes directly toward covering the live travel expenses and performance fees for the tour.
Scheduling Window: Live tour stops will be scheduled individually with hosts to take place starting in late Autumn 2026 through Spring or Summer 2027, aligning with routing and weather considerations.
