image GM #nostr I have some very exciting news to share with you all that I've been keeping under wraps for a while now. I'm heading out to Nashville this October to record my next album 'Alone In Valentine' with some world class talent. Since I started writing country songs about a decade ago, it's been a dream of mine to cut a record in Nashville and now it feels like the time is right to make it happen. As well as my main kickstarter campaign which goes live tomorrow, I wanted to do a @Geyser fund for the nostr folks who can support with sats, if you so wish. Staying true to my path these past few years, this album will eventually be released for free under the value for value model. However, this is my biggest, most ambitious project to date and traveling half way around the world comes with hefty a price tag. I will be putting a big emphasis on physical merch as a way people can support this vision and help me bring the album to life. With this Geyser campaign, you can pre-order the album as a CD (old school), a vinly record (very old school - but hipster), or signed merch bundle (CD, vinyl and t-shirt). There are some higher tier rewards for the whale zappers. πŸ‹ $500 gets you an album credit thank you (and signed merch bundle), the top slot is a private house show performance of the whole album (for UK residents only). This is my first attempt at something like this, so I will admit, that I'm taking a shot in the dark. But I've decided that I'm making this album because I believe it needs to be made. I'm selfishly making it for me first, and I hope others will eventually find it and like it. I truly do believe in the value for value model and when the album is released digitally, it will be released early into the valueverse ( @Fountain , @Wavlake , LNBeats etc) before legacy platforms. However, if you'd like to show an extra bit of support, you can do so by pre-ordering a physical copy with this Geyser campaign. I feel like this album has been a long time coming and I can't wait for you all to hear it! Check out more info here > Please give a share for visability. Let's go! πŸš€ Peace and love Joe x #grownostr #tunestr #newmusic

Crowd funding albums has always been part of my vision for V4V music. You've made your music available for people to enjoy without barriers and now they have a chance to help you make your next album.

Congrats on making it happen and leading by example! I’m seeing lots of musicians beginning to remove their music from the legacy platforms. I find it most inspiring and credible to show them examples of what to do/where to go next. Enjoy the process πŸ€™ Can’t wait to hear the project.
