I was hesitant to raise funds for an album during a time that is such an existential and financial burden on so many people. However, I have written a collection of songs that I believe are important. I've assembled a group of absolutely incredible musicians to bring these songs to life and a producer & engineer who are excellent for the task.

To offset the feeling that I am unfairly asking for too much money, I set my sights on the Redneck Fundraiser: what if I ask 15,000 people for only $1? That would give me enough to bring the vision to life and promote it. It also doesn't feel like much of an ask. So, I started doing that and accepting donations via Venmo, CashApp, & PayPal.

The album is now fully funded and well on its way to a Fall 2022 release. We are nearly complete with the recording process and I'm beside myself with how incredible everything is turning out and by the excellent energy being poured into this. The team behind this has been so amazing & supportive. I'm very proud of the songs, the production, & the misfit band that came together beautifully to give them life. 

What I can say so far is that there are 11 songs on the album, that it deals heavily with class consciousness in the rural south, apostasy, generational trauma, racism, and politics and it does so with fevered passion & unfettered sincerity. It is also, notably, full of bops. I'm continuing to accept donations until the book is finished and ready to press so if you still want to donate, feel free but don't put yourself out! This thing is happening now!
