Project Update: Survey Deadline, Shipping Timeline, and more!
TL;DR:
-MOST IMPORTANT: Please fill out your survey so we can send you your albums! This is the way for us to get your current shipping info! Survey deadline: November 17
-Shipping is still on track to begin Nov 30
-Come to a show! Our Music of Midwinter tour (northeast US) begins next weekend, and we have a livestream available WORLDWIDE on Dec 8!
-Join our Patreon for year-round access to new music and supporting our mission
-We got the test pressing of our vinyl album! You can add it to your order when you fill out your survey
Surveys: Thank you to the 5500 of you who have already filled out your surveys and given us your addresses for shipping! As you may or may not know, Windborne is entirely run by the four of us (we jokingly refer to Lynn and Will's basement as "Windborne's Shipping and Receiving Department") and since we are also preparing to go on tour right now, it is super helpful to have your info as soon as possible so we can get organized and ready to ship the album the minute we receive it! Your BackerKit survey is the way we can collect and process all that info, so please fill it out soon--the final deadline for surveys is Nov 17. Find your survey here: https://windborne.backerkit.com/ by entering the email address you used to make your pledge.
Downloads: Once you finish your survey, you get the downloads! If you are having trouble just let us (or Backerkit support) know! You can choose between wav and mp3 files for the music.

Shipping: As we said in our main campaign, we will begin shipping at the end of November and everything looks on track for that timeline! We know many of you are eagerly awaiting the album to give as gifts for the holidays, and rest assured that we are doing everything we can to get it to you on time.
Music of Midwinter tour: Starting next weekend, we will be touring our Music of Midwinter show, which includes many of the songs on this album! If you are in the northeast of the US (Maine to Maryland!) we hope you will join us in person at a show this year! We will also do a livestream concert on Sunday, Dec 8, bringing these songs straight to you at home. You can add a livestream ticket to your order in your survey, which will also get you a pass to our post-concert Zoom hangout as a thank you for backing this album! Livestream tickets are also available here if you want to share the link with friends: https://tix.windbornesingers.com/events/windborne/1424440
Patreon: If you want to stay in touch with Windborne year round, see a peek behind the scenes, support our mission, and get exclusive tracks and videos that aren't released anywhere else, we would love to welcome you to our Patreon community! We just celebrated our five year Patreon anniversary, and we are excited to continue growing this vibrant community from all over the world!
Vinyl: We just got the test pressing of our vinyl, and it sounds great! You can add a copy of To Warm the Winter Hearth on vinyl to your order via your survey, but please note that it will NOT ship in time for the holidays. It wasn't originally part of this project, but due to popular demand we ended up adding it! We are so glad you all asked for it, but given its late addition, the production timeline is way further behind the book and CD.
We hope you are enjoying the digital downloads, and thank you so much for your support! If you do make it to a show in person, please do come say hello! We love making the face to face connection after all these months of digital communication. :)
In harmony and gratitude,
Jeremy, Lauren, Lynn and Will
