0 Important Things Donors Should Know

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.

Upward and Onward!

0 Dirty Bourbon debuts at ISIS!

I’m trying to count up how many times we’ve performed in Asheville, that’s including busking as well, and we just can’t be sure anymore. We’ve been back so many times it feels like a home away from home. We’ve had the opportunity to play around the city at different bars, clubs, corners, and brew halls, and tonight we’re adding a new spot to the list.

Tonight we’re shaking the walls at Isis Restaurant and Music Hall. We’re joined by locals Raising Caine and it all kicks off at 9 PM! But make your way down before then because doors open at 5 and there’s plenty of good food.

We’re excited to make our debut in such a beautiful place and hope you can join us!

We are also incredibly thrilled to officially announce that our total amount raised for our Kickstarter project is exactly $10,600. To everyone who shared, supported and donated, we did it, folks! But really you did it, and in return we, along with Craig and everyone at The Living Room, will sweat and bleed to give you the best record we can. You have opened a huge door for us, and we’re gonna be charging through with guns blazing!

Thank you!
Boots.

0 Today Is The Final Day

Today is the final day folks. Less than 18 hrs to go on our Kickstarter campaign. Now – more than any other time – is the time for you to step up and become a part of this awesome project! We’ve poured so much love into writing, drafting and demoing these songs, selecting the perfect producer and professional studio, putting all our cards on the line for this new album – join us! Let’s do it together! Whether it’s $500 or just $5, do what you can, and together let’s make the dopest album ever – let’s break DBRS into the mainstream – and without the help of nefarious record companies and industry hacks telling us what to do. Let’s do it ourselves.

Do it.

Love,

The Dirty Bourbon River Show

P.S. Headlining night one of the Big What? Festival in Mebance, NC tonight! Midnight! Hope to see you there!

0 Looking For That Special Someone…

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re looking for that special someone. We want to record this next album to tape and release a vinyl version of it as well. But to do that we need to get this Kickstarter to $12,000. We’re currently at $10,360 with less than 36 hours to go. That means we have only a day and a half to raise $1,640, or we won’t be able to do tape. We simply won’t be able to afford it. We’re already facing a $20,000 budget, all things considered. But, if we can get up to $12,000, then we’ll be able to give this next album that warm analog justice it deserves. You like warm analog justice, right?

Have you considered our $500 donation package? For a mere five Benjamins you can get backstage access to a DBRS concert (+meet & greet & photo session w/ band), an autographed copy of the new album, a DBRS t-shirt, 5 DBRS stickers, and an autographed set-list. That’s a pretty good deal, right?

Oh, and as a last minute bonus, if you pledge that package today, tomorrow we’ll mail you a copy of our 8th studio album Accordion Anthology on 180gram vinyl with a hand written letter (both the vinyl & the letter hand-signed as well) & an email with a download of a demo version of one of the new new songs from our soon-to-be-recorded 9th studio album Important Things Humans Should Know.

Now that’s a pretty sweet deal. 2/3 of these $500 reward packages (and all 3 of the $1,000 packages) have been claimed, so there’s only 1 left…

Don’t have $500? Neither do we… Got $5? Make a pledge. And check our Kickstarter history – we’ve pledged to many music projects ourselves in the past. And so, we beckon to you now:

O brother, O sister, where y’at?

0 40 Hours and Counting…

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

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…

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:

0 We Need Your Help! Only 4 Days Left!!!

0 The World’s Largest Drum Kit

Yes folks it has been done. Thirty-five years and 813 pieces later, Mark Temperato, who goes by the stage name RevM, has built the world’s largest drum kit!

Some of the parts are as far as seven or eight feet away from each other, but he’s able to hit each piece from his throne, which is impossible to see from the front.

…I can’t imagine how much money he’s spent….

But…

I can keep track of how much money our Kickstart has raised…and as of now we are still behind schedule…we have 5 days to go folks, and we really need your help! We’ve got a producer and a studio all set…please continue your support and help us make this next album a reality!!

1 Have you seen the lineup for Voodoo fest?

So last year we played Voodoo fest for the first time ever. It was a dream realized for DBRS, and that weekend we got to share the main stage with some truly legendary performers, including the one and only Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Now ladies and gentleman it is my proudest of pleasures to announce to you that Dirty Bourbon will once again be playing that Halloween hootenannie that is Voodoo! This is certainly exiting, and I can’t help but add to that excitement my own….

You Damn Right!

Along with the official lineup announcement came the news that the one and only SpottieOttieDopalicious duo straight out of Stankonia will be gracing us with their Southernplayalisticadlliacmuzik! That’s right, Sir Lucius Left Foot AND mister 3 Stacks , aka Ice Cold, aka possum Aloysius Jenkins, aka Cupid Valentino, THE Andre 3000 will be performing in New Orleans at Voodoo as the legendary duo OUTKAST!

These are exiting times for the Dirty Bourbon River Show, and we would never have had these incredible opportunities if it wasn’t for the continued support of YOU our wonderful fans, so thank you. If you would like to further support the Dirty Bourbon River, you can do so by helping to fund the recording of our next studio album.

Peace
-Big Charlie
