Canadian singer/songwriter Riley Armstrong made his debut in the Christian market in 2000 as the flagship artist for Audio Adrenaline's own label Flicker Records. After two albums on Flicker, Armstrong continued making music on 7 Spin Music and then independently, and in recent years could be found mixing comedy in with his music in concert. Riley's latest project is called I Live Dangerous and he decided to mix two of his favorite things: pancakes and music to launch the IndieGoGo campaign "Dangerous Pancakes for Dangerous Music." (In which incentives include pancake mix with his face on the box or his own switchblade spatula.)

Riley has these details about the campaign on IndieGogo...

MY STORY TO HERE
I have always loved to write music. My first song recorded to cassette was me singing about my mom's cooking while plucking away on a giant comb our neighbors had brought me home from Reno. For many years I wrote serious songs about faith, life and love. And then one day a few years back after many twists and turns in my career in music I realized that the fun songs I had written along the way were the songs that I enjoyed to perform the most, and it seemed that people connected with the most. It struck me just how much I loved to make people laugh. And that laughter always created a path to friendship and some pretty fantastic moments.

So here I am writing crazy comedy songs in my spare time hoping and dreaming that I could put them together as an album launching me out there officially in to the world as a music comic.

WHY INDIEGOGO
I chose Indiegogo as a platform for this campaign because of how easy it is to use for the donor. I have given through this site before, most recently to the City Harmonic with their City Bus campaign and I felt very confident that it would be a safe and easy way for my friends to donate.

WHATS IN IT FOR YOU
For your donation to this campaign, I have several perks you can receive as a small thank you for believing in me. Now it is a donation, so thats why the perk you receive isn't worth the amount you give... of course until you add in the warm fuzzy feeling you get from being apart of something really cool of seeing a dream come to reality... yes, that is priceless.

A. $5.00 you'll receive a sneak peak instant download of a song from the album. Along with a high five thank you!!

B. $18.00 you'll receive all of perk package A plus a signed hard copy in the mail when it releases in November. And everyone one loves old fashion mail... that's not bills.

C. $25.00 you'll receive all of perk package B plus a box of Riley's Dangerous Pancake Mix and your name in the credits of the hard copy CD.

Maybe this is one of those christmas gifts for that hard to buy for person that has everything... I guarantee you they don't have one of these!!

D. $75.00 You'll receive all of perk package C plus Riley's brand new invention called a switchblade pancake flipper... patent very pending. Serve breakfast with some dangerous style with the one-of-a-kind switchblade pancake flipper!!!

E. $2200.00 You'll receive all of perk package D plus... this is crazy... Riley will fly or drive to your house to put on a pancake party for you and your friends and family invite along with a special . Riley will supply the pancakes, invitations, and the music.

THE IMPACT
My goal with this campaign is to be able to raise the remainder of the costs needed to see this album complete, and to make a few people smile along the way.
The remaining costs that this campaign will cover is:
mixing the album
mastering
duplication
