Help Kelly finish “Just in Time!”

My name is Kelly Bird, but you may know me by several monikers in the Capital Region; The Jingle Queen, The Diva of Death, Faerie Godmother, Mother Goose or Professor Bird, to name a few. If you haven't heard me sing, here's a recent demo of the jazz standard Lush Life: https://youtu.be/TPYuYiEEBvQ

After several decades of being part of hundreds of recording projects for other artists, businesses and students, I realize that it’s time for me to release my own album. I have a team of brilliantly creative folks ready to assist in making what I believe will be a memorable and unique album. I’m asking for your help so I can adequately compensate everyone for their highly valuable time. Here's a link to a YouTube video about the project: https://youtu.be/TsXiCRfdceY

I’ve had an incredibly rewarding career making music with a wealth of colleagues, collaborators and students in a wide range of styles, and I'm collaborating with some of the most exceptional folks I've met along the way on this project. This fundraising goal is $10,000. If we are blessed to receive donations beyond our goal amount, those donations will roll over into a future project with the same production team…likely a Christmas album! Your contribution will be used to cover a myriad of expenses, including:

In addition to the official “thank you” note that you'll receive, I'll be sure to notify donors when the CD is released. Donations in excess of $500 will give you an “Executive Director” credit in the physical CD liner notes.

Thank you for sharing some of your social media time with me in this small corner of the Interwebiverse. I wish you all the peace & blessings you can handle in this wild ‘n wooly world.
