The Real Doug Lane Launches Campaign For Debut EP of Original Music

PROVO, Utah - Sept. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Texas-raised, Utah-based alternative country singer The Real Doug Lane (TRDL) is set to begin recording in October 2016 with a planned release in late February 2017. The untitled EP album will feature five original songs written by Lane over the last two years. The songs were selected based on fan feedback and represent the best of TRDL's writing to date. Among the five songs planned for the album are: "Outlaws, Lovers, and Home," a semi-autobiographical homesick lullaby; "Stay Awhile," an up-tempo reminiscent love song; and "Just A Matter of Time," a catchy rebel road tune about running from the cops.

To fund the album, The Real Doug Lane has launched a crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/therealdouglane/the-real-doug-lane-debut-ep). The campaign is aiming to raise $3500 to cover the cost of musicians, production, distribution, and a few promotional items (such as t-shirts). Various levels of giving have been set with corresponding rewards including the digital download of the album, physical copies of the CD, and a TRDL t-shirt. Upper tier rewards include a personalized song on a topic of the donor's choice (subject to approval), private concerts, an invitation to the listening party with the band, and a $2500 ultimate reward that includes a personal performance with copies of the CD, t-shirts, etc., anywhere in the lower 48-states. The last day to give is October 16, 2016.

Lane was brought up in a small Texas town outside the gates of the famed King Ranch. Following graduation in 2000, he joined the Army as a saxophonist in the Army bands. He was stationed in Germany with a 15-month deployment to Baghdad, Iraq in 2003-2004. Following the completion of his service, Lane began serving as a music minister in churches in Michigan and Texas. Between his service as a military musician and experience as a church band leader, Lane has performed in numerous ensembles of varying styles including jazz, dixie, rock, country, and pop. His song "Faces" was recently selected for the upcoming Operation Encore, Volume 2, a compilation featuring songs written and performed by members of the military and veteran communities. Operation Encore, Volume 2 is due out in November 2016 (visit www.operationencoremusic.com for more details).
