Vocalist BESS ROGERS launches Kickstarter Campaign

April 4, 2011 - PRLog -- VOCALIST BESS ROGERS LAUNCHES KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
PERFORMING IN APRIL WITH ARI HEST, ERIN MCKEOWN, ALLIE MOSS AND OTHERS

Brooklyn based performer, Bess Rogers, spearheaded an April Kickstarter campaign to fund her new album set for release later this year. Kickstarter is a place for people in various creative fields to create projects to raise money for their cause. Supporters can show their patronage by donating anywhere from $5-$5000 and, depending on the amount, they will be awarded prizes from the creator. Rogers’ made a goal of $10,000 over a period of a month to gain funding for her latest record to be mixed, mastered, pressed, and promoted. Within a day, she had not only reached, but exceeded her goal with the help of her global network of adoring fans.  A tongue-in-cheek video by Rogers detailing what goes into making a record accompanies the campaign and can be viewed at www.youtube.com/BessRogers.

With no financial backer Rogers’ declares, “I am astounded, flabbergasted, bewildered, dumbfounded, and extremely flattered by how quickly and how much you all have donated to help me fund this record. I cannot express to you how much I appreciate your help and your support.” There are 26 days left in her campaign. To donate, visit www.bessrogers.com/help

In addition to her success on Kickstarter, Rogers’ will embark on a two-week tour starting April 6th at The Saint in Asbury Park, New Jersey.  During the tour, she will share the stage with a variety of different artists, including Ari Hest, Erin McKeown and Allie Moss.
