THE WEARY BLUES
Donation protected
Several years of hard work is finally paying off. The Weary Blues, a song recording collaboration between composer DREW HEMENGER and soprano ADRIENNE DANRICH, has been released by HR Recordings, a wonderful hi-fidelity label in Madrid. It can be purchased now in hi-def resolution at NativeDSD and the booklet is free to download with or without purchase.
It will be available on all your favorite streaming platforms starting on August 12!
Our other collaborators are incredible pianist Mila Henry, Grammy-winner Charles Yang on the fiddle, and the glorious operatic baritone Eric McKeever. Brilliant producer Philip Carroll produced, mixed and edited.
This project has been and continues to be very expensive, and we would like to hire a PR company to garner more reviews. We would also like to produce a physical CD and a release event. Therefore, I am appealing to you to help out in this endeavor with a donation to this GoFundMe campaign. You are probably aware that classical recordings rarely ever make enough even to cover costs, but having the music out there is worth everything. $12,000 would cover the costs of the recording studio, engineer, production, editing, musician fees, rehearsal space rental, PR and a few others.
Every bit helps, but we are also offering:
- $25+ a physical CD (once we get them made) mailed domestically
- $50+ a CD signed by Adrienne and Drew and guaranteed invite to our release event
- $100 or more - secure in the knowledge that you are an Angel helping to bring great music to the world
Here is a partial list of costs, some already incurred and others yet to be if we raise enough:
$5000 - studio rental and editing
$1500 - artist fees
$1000 - CD production
$1500 - label costs
$3000-6000 PR, helps with reviews, radio play, playlist placement
Thank YOU in advance for your help!
