Bay Area music darlings The Family Crest have successfully funded their recent Kickstarter campaign. The 324 lovely backers of the project have helped the group reach their $20,000 goal. Money from the project will go towards the completion of their upcoming album Beneath the Brine. The campaign's pledge gifts are very unique – including 2 VIP passes to all of their shows for an entire year – and we'd like to extend our own thanks to those who supported the band. We are looking forward to working with The Family Crest at our event with Sylvia Massy on December 8th.
From their second successful KickStarter campaign:
“It’s taken us a lot of hard work to get where we are today, on both musical and business levels. This year alone, we’ve been on several West Coast tours, released an album, played at the Red Light Management GRAMMY Party as a Google Magnified Artist, showcased at SXSW, and opened for Train, The Head and The Heart and OK Go. We've also been fortunate enough to play both the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge and the 75th Anniversary of San Francisco's Stern Grove Music Festival. Our song North was featured on the television show Awake and it just won first place in the rock category of the Unsigned Only Songwriting Competition. Our hope for the next year is to bring our music to the entire United States and Europe, expanding our Extended Family along the way.”
We wish them all the best with their continued efforts finishing this recording and are very happy to have this group participating in our inaugural ASSR studio training session at Studio Trilogy in their hometown of San Francisco with the legendary engineer / producer Sylvia Massy at the helm. We look forward to a very successful day of recording!
