Dear Windborne Backers,

Short version: YOU ARE AMAZING, we set records, tell your friends, digital files in a few weeks, shipping late November, make sure to look out for a survey when the campaign closes, come see us live! Plus-Do you want VINYL?

The full version:

Wow, this has been quite the journey, and the four of us are all still a bit in shock at the warmth and enthusiasm with which the world has received To Warm the Winter Hearth! We’ve poured our love and work and creativity into this project for so long and to see thousands of people from all over the world talking about it and getting excited and preparing to listen to (or sing!) these songs are truly a dream come true.

In these last days of the campaign for To Warm the Winter Hearth, we wanted to take a moment to stop, catch our breath, and send you a warm and heartfelt thank you. Your incredible support has filled us with deep gratitude for how this community has come together, and feels like a reaffirmation of the power and place of traditional music and vocal harmony in the world today. Your belief in our music and mission is the best gift we will receive this year, and we are beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you all the music, artwork, stories, and magic in this book

The project has also set new records in the crowdfunding world! Not only is it the #1 vocal album ever, but it is also the top Folk Album, and the top Seasonal Album! In fact, if we get 700 more backers, you will have made To Warm the Winter Hearth the 5th most-backed crowdfunded album on any platform. Incredible! Thank you.

As we work to cross the finish line, we ask that you help us. If you have friends or family that might resonate with our music and mission, please do share our campaign (this link can help!). The best way is often a direct email, but you can also share the page with them and encourage them to watch the video to hear the music! We really appreciate the word-of-mouth recommendation, it’s the highest compliment a musician can receive.

Some Important Info!

Digital files: We just approved the final master for the album so we’ll be sending out those files in the next few weeks to everyone in all pledge levels!

SURVEY: After the campaign ends on the 13th of october you will receive a survey to collect some important information, most importantly your shipping address.

Reduce plastic waste: A CD is included by default in most pledges, but we know that many people don’t want them or have no way to play them. To reduce waste, if you opt to not receive the disc we will give you a $5 credit towards any other Windborne merch! 

Add-ons: You will also have an opportunity in the survey to buy more albums at a highly discounted campaign rate. This will include our other books and albums, tshirts, sheet music for choirs, and more!
