Andrew Heringer Band - Releasing Our New Album for Free

The Andrew Heringer Band is proud to announce that since mid-March, we have been recording a new album. Since we have no record label and there are multiple costs involved with recording, we are looking for sponsorship to help us financially. If we are able to raise the money to cover all our costs - we are going to release the CD for FREE - downloadable directly from on our website and we will make thousands of physical copies to give away. In exchange for the support, we will give our friends and fans gifts (seen on the right hand side of the page).

We want to release this CD for free to get our music to as many people as possible. We are part of a new era of music and we know that sharing music is very easy. Our hope is that our friends will tell their friends about our new FREE album - and our music will continue to spread.

This is your chance to truly support our music as we are asking you to be our record label. The money we raise here goes directly towards recording studio rental, engineers, producer fees, CD production and duplication. People who sponsor our project will get access to the album before it is released to the general public as well as get access to videos of the recording process not seen by the general public.

The (as of yet Untitled) CD will include:

Roads
Brooklyn
World Traveler
Baskets
Fine
Broadway
Tree
Lions Park
I Know You Well
Missing You

There will also be a Deluxe Edition CD with addition material for everyone who sponsors the album. The Deluxe Edition album will have these bonus songs:

Away
December (full band)
She's Suddenly (full band)
Roads (acoustic)
Brooklyn (acoustic)
Baskets (acoustic)

Thanks for supporting independent musicians,
-Andrew, Kellen, Arlyn, Jason & Jonathan

i hope you find your way
i hope you're out there safe
world traveler

i hope you get your break
i hope you're out there safe
world traveler

where you go i go too
i already told you

i know that your feet will carry you home
i hope that you feel that you're never alone
i hope when we meet that it's always the same
i hope everyday that you think of my name

i know that your feet will carry you home
we'll find a way, we'll find a way
i hope that you feel that you're never alone
when you're far away, when you're far away
i hope when we meet that it's always the same
we'll find a way, we'll find a way
i hope everyday that you think of my name

i hope you find your way
i hope you're out there safe
world traveler
world traveler

we'll find a way, we'll find a way
we'll find a way, we'll find a way
we'll find a way, we'll find a way

Sac Bee Article

Jim Carnes at the Sacramento Bee Newspaper did an interview that covered both my groups, Andrew Heringer Band and Dawson & Marie. We were stoked to find out that our story made it to the front of the ticket section last friday. As well, Jim did a fantastic job showing the realities of our independent musician life. For those who haven't had a chance to read it, here is a link :

There was another article in the Mountain Democrat in Placerville that I have not had the chance to read yet.
