| Dearest friends,
If you didn’t know this already, I sing in a band called Humming House. I started singing with them back in February and went on a few small tour runs with them. In May I decided to halt my academic life for a bit and enter the touring / music world full time, and have been playing with this group ever since. Besides myself, the band is comprised of four ridiculously talented dudes named Justin, Josh, Ben and Bobby. We love what we do, we want to keep doing what we do, and that’s where these very important announcements come in. |
Queridos amigos,
Si no saben aun, yo canto para una banda llamada Humming House. Comenze a cantar con ellos en Febrero y hemos ido en un par de mini giras con ellos. En Mayo congele mis estudios para poder unirme al mundo musical a tiempo completo, y he estado tocando musica con este grupo desde entonces.Aparte de mi persona, la banda esta compuesta por cuatro amigos ridiculamente talentosos llamados Justin, Josh, Ben y Bobby. Amamos lo que hacemos, queremos seguir haciendo musica, y es por eso que tenemos anuncios importantes. |
| 1) First, you can download a FREE copy of our debut album HERE. It’s available for $0 for the next two weeks on Noisetrade.com – and I think you’ll love it. The band recorded this album back in 2012 before I was singing with the group and it was through this album that I initially fell in love with Humming House’s sound. The album is folky and rootsy with sweet harmonies, captivating lyrics and an all around great sound – and it’s FREE. So please, go check it out! If you like it, pass the word along. We want to reach as many people as possible with this two-week giveaway and we’d really appreciate it if you told your friends about it! | 1) Primero, pueden descargar una copia GRATIS de nuestro primer album AQUI. Esta disponible por $0 por las proximas dos semanas en Noisetrade.com – y creo que les encantara. La banda grabo esta album en el 2012 antes de que yo me uniera al grupo y es el album que me hizo fanatica del sonido de Humming House. El estilo es especial, con muchas harmonias, letras interesantes y muy entretenido – y es GRATIS. Asi que por favor, escuchenlo! Si les gusta, corran la voz. Queremos poder dar nuestra musica a la mayor cantidad de gente posible durante estas dos semana y nos encantaria que les avisen a sus amigos. |
| 2) Second, if you like the sound of the first album, we’ve got some great news. We’ll be heading back into the studio in January to record a second album! We do need some help with the financial journey toward getting the new record into your hands. The entire endeavor is going to cost us about $40,000 and we do have some of that stored away. For the rest of it, we just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $20,000!! | 2) Segundo si les gusta el sonido del primer album, tenemos buenas noticias. Vamos a volver al estudio en Enero para grabar el segundo disco! Necesitamos ayuda financiera para poder completar este proyecto. En total nos va a costar cerca de $40,000 y tenemos bastante ahorrado. Para el resto, hemos lanzado una campana Kickstarter para recaudar $20,000!! |
| If you’ve never heard of Kickstarter, here’s a quick explanation. It’s a funding platform that allows fans, friends, family and folks who believe in supporting creativity to invest in projects they want to see come to fruition. In return for the support, we will be offering some pretty cool rewards. For example, if you invest $10, you’ll get an early, digital download of the album before we release it to the public. There are rewards for investing as little as $10 and as much as $5,000! Check out our Kickstarter page to see the list of rewards – and consider helping us out with the next record. | Si nunca han oido sobre Kickstarter, aqui va una explicacion rapida. Es una plataforma para recaudar fondos, que permite a fans, amigos, familia y gente que cree en el apoyo a la creatividad, invertir en proyectos que les gustaria ver completados. En retorno por el apoyo, ofrecemos premios geniales. Por ejemplo, si invierten $10, les regalamos una descarga digital del album antes de que salga al publico. Hay premios para gente que invierte desde $10 hasta $5,000! Revisen nuestra pagina en Kickstarter para ver la lista de premios – y consideren en ayudarnos con nuestro proximo album. |
| The free album is our way of saying thank you for being a friend and fan – we really, really appreciate your support. I’m having the time of my life playing music across the country. If you like what you hear, consider supporting the second album – I promise you won’t regret it! | El album gratis es nuestra manera de decirle gracias a todos por ser nuestros amigos y fans – en verdad apreciamos su apoyo. Lo estoy pasando genial tocando musica por todo el pais. Si les gusta lo que escuchan, consideren invertir en el segundo album – les prometo que no se arrepentiran! |
