Kevin Johnston makes a record

Kevin Johnston is using the new crowd sourcing model to raise funds for a studio album via Kickstarter. He has already raised close to $4,500 with the goal of raising $8,000 in the next 9 days. Funding an album is an exciting way to participate in the process of creating the album, and Kevin takes this concept to new levels by allowing backers to actually sing on his album with a pledge of just $25 or more. At the very least, you can pre-order the album for a decent price, or go all out and go for the in-house private acoustic concert! I guarantee you will be blown away by the anthemic melodies and soaring vocals that have made Kevin a stand-out in the indie music scene.
