I am in the process of making a new album and I am looking for help in funding it. I have started a campaign on the crowdfunding website www.kickstarter.com. In the absence of any significant record company involvement in traditional and folk music this seems to be an ideal way to my fans involved in the creation of the album. People will pledge money which will enable me to arrange, record, mix, manufacture and market the album as well as pay all the musicians involved. In return they will receive rewards which range from a simple thank you or download of the album, up to playing concerts in people's houses, singing lessons over Skype and recording on someone's album.
The album will feature new songs that I have composed over the last couple of years. It really means a lot to me to be able to record these songs, so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Please pass this on to anyone you feel might be interested and share the video.
Karan Casey has recorded and performed some of the most significant Irish labour and progressive historical songs as well as many other traditional and original songs.
