I use Kickstarter to fulfill my desire to discover new music and most campaign perks scratch my itch for autographed merch. I use it like a dating app, swiping to search out new indie divas that strike my fancy. This past weekend, Gina Zo’s campaign to tour and put out her debut album, burn me…
A lot has happened in the two years since I first discovered Heather Mae’s music (thanks to her partner and diva in her own right, Crys Matthews): First of which, What They Hid From Me, is a folksy-pop album with a few tracks (“Ash & Smoke” and “All’s Not Lost”) having a psychedelic 70’s vibe…
This week the government started it’s flat-out attack on my trans family, which is sad and infuriating. Trans people have always had to fight for the few rights they were given, so seeing those rights being taken away is disheartening. I’ve even seen hatred from certain gay and trans celebrities, which I can’t even pretend…
July of last year, Crys Matthews had a Kickstarter campaign to get her album Reclamation made. I backed the campaign, of course, wanting to get my autographed CD (I’m all about the signed merch). A huge perk of backing the campaign was getting a download of the album months before everyone else, so I’ve had…
I first discovered Jenn Champion’s music thanks to her campaign on Kickstarter for her album The Last Night Of Sadness that dropped last year. I really like Jenn’s solo stuff but she also did an EP back in 2020 called Recents, with her wife Arwen Nicks, that’s just as good as Jenn’s solo work. Jenn…
What better way to start off the New Year than with a new album from Wild Fire, Mirrors Edge, which has a whole new sound for them. Wild Fire’s previous albums were very much pop-country and there’s some hints of that on their current ballads. However, the sister duo (Kayla and Kelli Iutzwig) have taken…
Last year, thanks to Kickstarter, I found Another Nguyen’s campaign to help get her new EP, Look At How Much You’ve Grown, made and I’m glad I could play a small part by backing it. That’s the cool thing about Kickstarter, helping indie artists see their dreams brought to life. In my gay opinion, the…
Earlier this year I did a post about discovering Jenn Champion and her Kickstarter campaign to get her new album The Last Night Of Sadness made. Because I backed her campaign, I got my signed CD, a handwritten postcard and a download of the album two weeks before today’s official release. Recently, I’ve had some…
In honor of Pride month, I decided to put my money where my mouth is…isn’t that kind of gross, haven’t I learned anything from COVID…by backing the new-to-me diva, Jenn Champion’s Kickstarter campaign to get her next album (The Last Night Of Sadness) made. Jenn is the self-proclaimed “gayer of the gays” so you don’t…
Last year I was surfing around Kickstarter and discovered Lindsay Coulson’s campaign to get her first EP made. I checked out a couple of her singles, liked her sound and decided to back her campaign. This month she dropped the EP, Believe It. “Believe It” starts out the EP with Lindsay’s smooth vocals over a…
