Yes people the time has come! The new album is ready and en route to Dirty Bourbon HQ, and we are getting the rewards together for those folks who donated last year and helped make it a reality!

Remember this? That was a special day folks!

   Right now, as we get the pieces together, we are sending out an email to retrieve addresses and such from everyone. So be on the lookout for an email from us inquiring about shipping info from you.

We hope y’all are as excited as we are for this new addition to the Dirty Bourbon catalog.

0 We Did It!!! But We’re Not Done Yet…

Picture 6

We dit it!!!! We’ve hit our $10,000 goal with 64 hours to go! But we’re not done yet ladies and gentlemen! Our budget has become clearer now that we’ve signed on a producer (Craig Schumacher) and scheduled professional studio time (Living Room Studio, New Orleans, LA) and all things considered, this project is going to cost us about $20,000 start to finish. We’re fully prepared to put in whatever we have to ourselves (we don’t have much) but we’d like to see if we could raise just a little more here on Kickstarter in these final few hours…

And so, if we can hit $12,000 here on Kickstarter before early Friday morning, then we’ll pledge to you to record this album on tape and do a vinyl release of it as well. Meeting with Craig and reviewing the equipment at The Living Room, he’s really excited to do some bussing to tape and treat it like a record, but tape & vinyl costs mucho money, and we just can’t do it in our current state…

But – if we can hit $12,000 here – then we can – and we will! So, it’s up to you folks… wanna see a vinyl version of this new album? Then let’s push just a little further… only $2,000 more to go – let’s do it!!!!

Oh, and we’ve reduced the $5,000 package to just 2 grand. For 2 grand you could have the Dirty Bourbon River Show perform in your house. Or your bar. Or your son’s bar mitzvah. Think about it.

Check out the updated project here:

And again, thank y’all so so so much. So excited to make this new album!!!

0 What a $500 Donation Could Get You…

$500

We’re getting down to serious crunch time here folks… We have less than 76 hours to raise $2,410 dollars for our Kickstarter Campaign, and if we don’t, according to Kickstarter Guidelines, we won’t get any of the money! We’re so close (3/4’s of the way there) but yet so far, and so we need your help now more than ever…

Want to take your commitment to the music of DBRS to the next level? If so, you should explore our $500 donation option – which comes with all sorts of cool rewards – Backstage access to a Dirty Bourbon concert, lots of hand signed swagger, songs before the album even drops, all sorts of amazing stuff. There are only three of these rewards available, and 1 has already been taken.

If you are in such a position, please consider this donation amount. If we can get 2 $500 donors before the end of the night, we’ll be at 85%! As the night ends and we get dangerously close, this would be so so cool…

Watching that ticker tick… Let’s do this good people!!!! Here is the link:

3 A Leap Year: It’s Time…

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We in the Dirty Bourbon River Show have been hard at work these past weeks since our last Southeast tour. There has been much writing and learning, much rehearsing and perfecting, we’ve finished recording our 2012 releases and filmed a music video for one of our upcoming singles, and yet there is still so much to do!

After a successful Mardi Gras show in our hometown, the Dirty Dirty, New Orleans herownself, we prepare for a brief return to the midwest next week ->

and then a few shows leading up to the grand release of Volume III and the kick off of our four-month-long national tour!

However, despite all of the wonderful shenanigans we have in store for you, we have a serious matter to tend to:

 

WE NEED A NEW VAN!!!!!

Friends and family, before we embark on our great quarter-year journey that begins with a trek back to the wonderful, beautiful, and treacherous mountains of Colorado, we must secure a new mode of transportation!

I’m sure all of you at one point or another have seen our hulking, sagging, meandering beast of a van and probably heard her grunts and sighs of protest, too! She’s stood the test of time so far, but her journey is coming quickly to an end. I’ll put it this way: she’s got no A/C or heat, no insulation, completely busted shocks, and an engine held together in some parts with whatever we could find to do the job! For as lovely and enduring as she’s been (and she is a trooper!), it is simply time to upgrade to something that will not ultimately kill us.

SO! If you’ve thought about donating and haven’t gotten around to it, PLEASE DO IT NOW! If you didn’t think we needed the money/a new van that badly, WE DO! If you have anything from a dollar to 20,000 of them lying around, please, PLEASE, help out your brothers and family in music and good times, the Dirty Bourbon River Show, to continue our quest to bring our ever-evolving original music to the world at large, so that we don’t end up like this!

Loved ones, please take a moment to search your hearts and your wallets in this time of the utmost seriousness. We are on the verge of greater things than ever before in this great journey, and we can’t do it without your help! For anything at all, no matter how big or small, that you can donate to our cause, we are eternally and deeply grateful.

We need your help! Many of you are surely aquainted with our van fundraiser by now:

www.dirtybourbonrivershow.com/van

We were running strong at first, but we haven’t received any donations so far this month, and we’re only at $822.31 of you $20,000 goal 😦 At this rate, it’ll take us 1,775 days to complete – that’s nearly 5 years from now!

What we’re looking for is a very special person to donate $177.69 in the next few days, bringing our donation total to $1000 so far (1/20 of our goal). If you would like to be this special person, in addition to all the normal goodies you’d receive for such a donation (unreleased song, Big Charlie baseball card, handpainted kazoo, handmade t-shirt, complete discography, handdrawn Big Charlie dinosaur + video cover of any song you want) we’ll also send you an additional unreleased .mp3 from our new album – Volume III. You will be the very first of the public to hear this song!

now that sounds pretty cool…

So, do you have it in your heart to donate $177.69 to a VERY good cause? You’ll also be getting a whole lotta cool prizes in return… Think about it… Then go do something cool for the arts.
