DIGITAL EP PRE-ORDERS & DONATIONS!!

Dear Friends,

I am so happy to announce the release of 'Things You Should Know', my new digital five-song EP, which will be coming out digitally on May 12th, 2009!!! By signing up to pre-order it now for ONLY $5 US (plus a small Paypal charge), you'll receive an exclusive free bonus track, plus the chance to win a spot on my VIP guest list with a meet & greet at one of my upcoming shows in 2009. On May 12th, you will receive an email with a one-time-only downloadable link for the five new tracks, plus artwork, and your special exclusive gift!

In addition to pre-ordering my digital EP, there is also now an option to donate funds towards the completion of my fourth full length album and become a part of the process. Below is the list of items you will receive in exchange for being involved from such an early stage. As you all know, releasing directly to you gives me more creative freedom and more control over my own music. I'm very excited by the prospect of connecting directly with you and I look forward to seeing you all at one of my upcoming shows!

Thank you to everyone who has already pre-ordered (for the early bird gift of 2 acoustic tracks) and thank you all for your amazing emails and much appreciated, long-standing support!

Mmmm. $1000 to have Carina perform in my lounge . If I was a richer man I'd be tempted.

Do we assume from this that she'll be touring the UK some time in June and July?

I hope she gets a good response from this novel way of financing her work. The most I'm likely to go to is the $50 option, but if a few fans club together for a personal performance, she may get a response to the $1000 choice. Any rich fans over in the US?

It's a great idea and one I think more artists will probably be looking towards as time goes on.

Personally, I'm not quite sure I have $50 to spare right now, particularly with the exchange rate being quite poor at the moment. I hope it's not the only way we can get physical CDs of the EP.

Still, I'm glad I've pre-ordered and I will most likely contribute a donation at some point, especially if some UK dates get set. I hope the idea goes down well in any case

They are not really donations are they, they are purchases - tracks, T shirts, signed photos etc.

Here's an idea. How about some message-boarders (and others) getting together and raising enough for a private fans show to fit in with the UK tour. That would be amazing. I'm up for a $100 / £70 contribution. Any takers?

I was thinking the same thing for my area in the US.

Anyone on this board from or near Ohio or Michigan?
