Christmas is coming early for Sam Billen.
In 2008, ex-
Billions/current solo artist
Sam Billen recorded, released and
gave away for free an album of traditional Christmas songs. This year, Billen has teamed up with Josh Atkinson to release another Christmas album, and they're raising funds through Kickstarter to press the CDs.
"It's not your standard 'raising money to make CDs to sell' type project," says Billen. "We're actually raising money so we can make these CDs to hand out to people for free. It's a Christmas present!"
Billen expects there to be around 15 songs in all, with roughly half originals and half covers. Here's the
Kickstarter page; the fundraising goal is $1,200.
Check out what you get for donating $100:
"Pre-release digital download of the album & twenty physical copies of the album & a collection of previous Christmas albums by Josh and Sam & a personalized thank you note from the songwriters & an autographed Christmas picture of the artists in beautiful Christmas garb (OPTIONAL: with you photo-shopped into the picture) & a Christmas mug personalized with pictures of artists."
That is so weird, because I was making my Christmas list a few months ago and "mugs with peoples' faces on them" was one of the first things I wrote down.
Seriously though, this seems like a project well worth supporting. All the info you need is right
here.
