Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

I write “New Folk Songs with an Old Folk Vibe. I am working on my very first recording project and would love to have you join me in helping my songs find their people. I tell musical stories about life, love, death and everything in between- those things that we all have in common. Moving between humor and heartache, my goal is to connect with the hearts and lives of my listeners.
I have been a decorative paint artisan for over thirty-five years, specializing in faux finishes and am now approaching semi-retirement. I have also been active in church music, serving part time as a director and songwriter. My wife, Karen, and I have been active in the music community hosting house concerts and along the way, I have written some songs for the wider community. Over the past year or so, I have been encouraged by local songwriter friends to pursue this seriously. As I share my songs at open mics, house concerts and other listening environments, I realize that now is time to take the next step by recording an EP to share with my family, friends and the world.
The project title song “The Mountains Are Calling,” reflects my love of the outdoors and nature. Local musician/producer, Greg DeLuca, of Bazooka Music Company has agreed to record and produce the project with other local musicians supporting. We have had some donations from family and friends but hope to supplement this to help cover the cost of recording, musicians, cover art and production. Plans are to have it on all the major streaming platforms and a physical CD. I will paint an abstract-expressionist version of the EP photo to make available as an art poster/print as one incentive level gift.
Thanks so much for your support and joining me on this adventure!
