Hi everyone - I'm so excited to announce the launch of a pledgemusic campaign for my new record Avocet! You can get a handmade, limited edition package of the cd (w/potato print card and booklet!) by DEC 24 if you pledge/pre-order by DEC 10! More about that below. All the big news:

+ LAUNCH of pledgemusic campaign for Avocet
+ Jenn's new website is up and running
+ Jennifer solo gig tonight, Somerville Armory, 8pm
+ Wintery Songs shows are selling out

And the details:
The music biz sure is changing fast. Who knows how musicians will get paid for streaming, or make a fair wage from downloads either. But the fact is we're going all digital - and fast. Thanks to crowdfuding platforms we can play this music game on our own! And one thing you get automatically when you pre-order Avocet on pledgemusic is a digital download of the cd and ACCESS to exclusive updates through the site. These may run the gamut from music videos, and live video, early arrangements of some of the songs, interviews with JK, stories of particular songs, photos, the making of Avocet...

But there is, more importantly, great handmade physical STUFF you can get NOW when you order the cd from pledgemusic! I've been a busy elf: hand-sewn felt ornaments, handwritten lyrics, tix to Wintery Songs shows, autographed copies of Billy Collins' and Mary Burchenal's poetry books, mix tape (cd!) of favorite harmony bits, harmony skype session, house concerts, etc... Decision has been made to manufacture vinyl (those lovely big discs will be available later this Spring). Also we've decided not to engage in any streaming services - or even itunes for a bit. So this pre-order campaign is IT for now. Keeping it home-grown and focused on budget for the moment.
