Emmy the Great's New Album

Emmy the Great with Jeremy Warmesley

A most wonderful thing is presently in the making. That thing, is singer-songstress Emmy the Great's (previously written about here and here) new album. A more interesting thing (well, maybe not more interesting, but quite interesting) is how the album is being funded. Anyone wanting to help create the album can pledge an amount of money ranging from £8 to £500. Of course, it isn't that simple, she isn't simply asking for cash. In exchange for your pledge, you receive something in return for £10, you could get a postcard from every town on the tour (I really wanted this, but they were all gone before I pledged), £20 gets you a limited edition artwork poster or a signed CD and your name in the credits (all gone). If you have a bit more cash to splash, £100 gets you a songwriting workshop and £500 gets you a gig in your living room. At such times I wish I had more cash to splash. I decided on a signed album, pledgers only gig and poster totalling £60.
