Thank you so much for the awesome support already. Kev and I are just blown away by everyone’s generosity!

Also, I wanted to encourage you to let you know that the money raised will be very well spent!

You will recognize some of these guys and your heart will probably jump up and down like mine did :-)

The musicians lined up for the album are some of the top session players in Nashville. Here’s a run-down of the list to give you an idea:

Producer: Jeremy Casella with Saint and Pilgrim Music in Nashville. (Opening act for the Caedmon’s Call ‘Share the Well’ tour. Signed as an artist to Universal Records. Recorded with producer Monroe Jones and the Blind boys of Alabama.)

Drums & Percussion: Ken Lewis (Amy Grant, Emmylou Harris, Phil Keaggy, Andrew Peterson, Steven Curtis Chapman)
Bass: Matt Pierson (Amy Grant, Michael W Smith)
Piano & Keys: Matt Stanfield (Plumb, Jill Phillips, Jars of Clay)
Cello: John Catchings (Cat Stevens, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Michael Card)
Dobro: Gabe Scott (Bethany Dillon, SheDaisy, Bebo Norman, Andrew Peterson)
Electric Guitar: Andrew Osenga (Caedmon’s Call, The Normals)
Please keep spreading the word!! and thanks so much for your encouragement and generosity. Every time someone gives I am so overwhelmed with joy, and even tears to think that you all are supporting me in this. And with musicians like these guys, we will ALL be blown away by the completed album when we play it loud in the car, at home, or on our ipods!!!! :-)

Thank you so much! Jess

I have loved writing songs and playing guitar for about 10 years now, and now I am blessed with the great privilege to make my very first full length original album with some wonderful musicians in Nashville.
It is a very exciting opportunity and it is going to be a REALLY fun process! I’m using Kickstarter to help get the word out there and keep people updated as the project progresses. It is also a great way to let people be involved and support! It is all happening so fast, and I just wanted to connect and inform you about it!

I have to raise $10,500 by February 10th!! And if I don’t reach my goal, I actually don’t get any of the money! Soooooo, there is a tad bit of urgency to the matter. :-)
Take a look at my Kickstarter page and get in on the action!! Time is running out!
