Now here is a project whose success has surprised me… Neva is a singer/songwriter from California and is looking to make a killer 2nd album featuring a full band. She put together a nice little Kickstarter to help make it happen. So what is so surprising? I looked at this project with about 2.5 days […]
Tea Leaf Green
Tea Leaf Green is sort of a jammy 70’s sounding touring band. They’ve been fairly responsible in building their online following and mailing list over the last decade which is the main reason raising over $25k will be no problem for them.
