about

For those keeping score, in June of 2013 I had the privilege of launching the "Guadalupe" Kickstarter campaign. Part of my campaign included a reward where you, the fan, could sponsor me to record a song of your choosing. And you did, in rather overwhelming numbers. Over 30 songs were chosen ~~ some were your original compositions, others were covers by various artists that you wanted to hear me sing.

Once the campaign ended, I started recording these songs, getting inside them, and in doing so I began to feel like I was getting closer to who you are not only as fans, but as people. Now here's the thing ~ a handful of these cover songs were originally recorded by bands, and not by song and dance men who have transitioned into quiet folk artists. So what was I to do? The idea was floated by Jeffrey at Lo-Fidelity that perhaps The 77s would be a perfect fit for a handful of the more 'band-oriented' tunes. I worked through the pros and cons, and then pitched the concept to the band. They liked it and signed on! So into the studio we went, and with that, I present to you:
"Gimme A Kickstart ..." ~ Michael Roe.
