Keaggy is currently raising funds for her ninth album, No Longer My Own, through the innovative crowd-sourcing website, Kickstarter. Keaggy is no stranger to Kickstarter, having employed it to fund her 2012 release, So I Can Tell.

The three new rewards offer her fans something special that they can't get anywhere else.

With the first new reward, each lucky fan who donates to help fund Keaggy's new CD can become the proud owner of an acoustic guitar selected and autographed by Keaggy's uncle, Gospel Music Hall of Famer Phil Keaggy, voted one of the top finger style guitarists in the world by Guitar Player Magazine. Another exciting new reward is "The Studio Experience." With this reward, fans will have the opportunity to sit in on a studio session with Cheri Keaggy as she records her new project, No Longer My Own, and join her for a meal.

"If fans have musical talent, we may even include them in a recording!" says Keaggy.

Cheri Keaggy is currently working on her ninth studio album, No Longer My Own. (Cheri Keaggy phogo) Aspiring songwriters will enjoy "The Songwriter's Package." With this reward, fans will come to Nashville to co-write a song with Keaggy, and may also bring up to three of their own songs for her to critique. They will also share a meal with Keaggy and take home a video of themselves performing the new song with her.

Keaggy, who is both humbled and excited by the number of doors that opened for ministry through concerts, church services, women's events, TV appearances, interviews, and radio airplay as a direct result of her last project, So I Can Tell, says the story is far from over. With a quiver full of new songs that are burning in her soul, Keaggy prays No Longer My Own will inspire and embolden fellow saints to live more fearlessly for Christ.

Using her piano as a pulpit from which to preach the Gospel, Keaggy has already spent considerable time in the studio with her uncle, Gospel Music Hall of Famer and guitar legend Phil Keaggy, prepping new songs for the project. Listeners can look forward to such vertically oriented songs of adoration as "Breathing Your Air," prayerful petitions like "Jesus, One and Only," thankful exultations like "No Longer My Own," and pensive intercessions like "Overcome."

Fans can help Keaggy produce No Longer My Own by backing her Kickstarter campaign, which launched November 17, with a pledge of as little as $1. The project will only be funded if at least $25,000 is pledged by Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. CST.

Keaggy is offering backers a wide assortment of perks, ranging from digital downloads of the completed project to autographed collector's posters to a free Cheri Keaggy concert and more. Pledges to Keaggy's No Longer My Own Kickstarter campaign can be made at kickstarter.com/projects/cherikeaggy/new-music-from-cheri-keaggy-no-longer-my-own.
