John Ball has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund his new record to be released in 2015. Follow the link to help him reach his financial goal and be on the look out for his series of hymn videos to be released in the coming weeks as a promotion for the campaign. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnballmusic/john-ball-new-record-2015

Read John's pitch letter below:


New Record 2015 by John Ball
Hey! I'm John Ball!

I'm beyond excited to begin the process of putting out new music in 2015! For those of you familiar with my music, you know that my desire has always been to write authentic, creative, faith-based music. This batch of songs are ones that I believe to be my best yet. From what we have been able to accomplish already in the studio, I am blown away but the leaps and bounds we have come since the release of my last self-titled EP. Sure, I can write the songs and even begin the process on my own, but there is no way this music will ever come out if not for a good deal of help from you!

For those who aren't familiar with the music business...it's an expensive endeavor! Recording music, paying musicians, producers, mix and master engineers, graphic designers, photographers, videographers, CD duplication services, web designers, PR firms...just to name a few - gets really pricey! Where in the past, record labels have fronted this massive bill; technology now allows independent artists like myself to pass the bill along to you...the fans! You are actually able to come along side of me and help to complete this project with me. While I have been fortunate enough to save the funds to begin this project, I need your help to finish.

Give towards this fundraiser and you will receive some awesome rewards! Take a look to the right and see which one might fit into your budget. Even if you were planning on buying my next record anyways, this is a great chance for you to get it ahead of time and really help me in a huge way!

As this 30 day fundraiser continues, I will be posting a series of hymn videos to help promote the Kickstarter. These are some of my favorite hymns, and I hope you enjoy the renditions I have done. Please watch the videos and share with all of your friends! With Kickstarter, if I don't meet my financial goal completely, then I don't get any of the funds! But don't worry...you want be charged until my goal is reached.

I'm so thankful for you all. Please please please consider giving, and please consider sharing this Kickstarter and the hymn videos in the coming month!
