Today, I am offering a free download of "Hope Found a Hummingbird," in honor of all the mothers I know (most of all my own - the best in the world!) - and in honor of anyone who has ever loved, cared for, sacrificed for, and rejoiced in the success of another living being.
Thank you. :)
First thing's first - several new songs are now available via the "music" link above.
Lastnight, I launched my official fan page on Facebook - http://facebook.com/summerrussell - and have already learned that at least 28 people like me. Yay!
I simultaneously announced the beginning of my Big Album Fundraiser. Offering a number of tangible incentives, I have decided to raise money with a little help from my friends to cover the costs of producing "Nothing Ventured." Through the generosity of Listeners Like You, I've already raised 61% of my initial goal. Would you like to know more? Visit the Facebook link above, or click "albums/donate" now!
Tomorrow (Friday, May 15), I will be working on a studio track for "The Ballad of Samson and Rosie." We're starting with Samson and Rosie for one very good, very exciting reason--it's going to be a music video! Thanks to the inestimable Holly Edwards, an amazing artist and a great friend, I've been given the opportunity to see one of my songs realized visually. She's given me a few hints about how the final product will turn out, and I just can't wait. But first I have to find a ringmaster costume... Stay tuned!
