I am venturing into crowdfunding and pre-selling for the first time for my 7th album "The Witness".
Recording is already well under way. I need financial help for the artwork, production and promotion costs, and have reached 100% of my funding goal and am keeping the page open for late donations. The donations and accompanying messages remind me of the importance of this album.
The Collins English dictionary defines a concept album as "an album that has a unifying theme or that tells a single story."
The theme here is pedophilia/abuse. The songs link to form a story of actual events I experienced. My aim is to portray the complexities of my experience with a combination of brutal honesty and sensitivity.
It is a big deal to ask musicians to be involved in a project as intimate and confronting as this one. I am thrilled with my core band: Ali Penney (keys), Ben Hoare (guitars) and Matt Nightingale (bass guitars).
Thank you so much for helping me release this deeply personal, and potentially controversial, album.
