Ron e Moch non scherzano

Cari amici e supporters!

La Piedmont Brothers Band (PBB) è pronta a produrre nuova musica! Il nuovo progetto si intitola “Going Back To The Country” e vuole essere un nuovo passo in avanti nella nostra reinterpretazione (speriamo senza apparire nostalgici) della buona, vecchia musica Country-Rock degli anni ’70, la musica che tutti noi amiamo. Anche in questo progetto, così come nel precedente Album PBB III, vorremmo includere alcune “leggende” musicali prese tra coloro che ci hanno così profondamente ispirato. Abbiamo già un accordo con Gene Parsons (Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers oltre che co-inventore dello String Bender che utilizzerà nelle sue registrazioni), Jim Salestrom (Wild Jimbos, Dolly Parton …), Stephen A. Love, Patrick Shanahan e Buddy Cage (New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Rick Nelson, Roger McGuinn …). Abbiamo in mente anche altri musicisti i cui nomi fanno “tremare” i polsi di noi appassionati, ma tutto dipenderà da quanto riusciremo a raccogliere con l’iniziativa di Kickstarter.
“Ecco, i soldi” direte voi! E già, alla fine siamo qui a chiedere aiuto economico … Il fatto è che fare musica per noi è fondamentalmente un atto di amore, non un “business”, ma per potere fare le cose per bene e per potere coinvolgere tali personaggi abbiamo bisogno di raccogliere sufficienti fondi per pagare gli Studi di Registrazione, la Produzione del CD, i diritti d’Autore, le tasse e così via.
Sebbene l’obiettivo minimo fissato in Kickstarter sia di 2500 Dollari, in realtà il nostro vero target è raggiungere i 3000-3500 € o più. Il tutto in 45 giorni (la scadenza sarà il 19 Aprile). Se l’obiettivo minimo non sarà raggiunto, non ci verrà accreditato nulla; se invece sarà superato anche di molto avremo i soldi a disposizione per la Produzione.

Abbiamo appena completato un nuovo Album intitolato “Rarities” contenente 14 canzoni (più una “ghost” track a sorpresa). Questo Album presenta arrangiamenti più acustici e presenta per la maggior parte brani inediti e 4 versioni alternative di canzoni già presenti nei nostri Album precedenti. Queste versioni sono comunque uniche e differenti rispetto agli “originali”. Abbiamo pensato di offrire questo Album (stampato in Australia in Edizione Limitata, quindi presto sarà un oggetto per collezionisti) solo a chi aderirà alla campagna di raccolta fondi di Kickstarter all’indirizzo http://piedmontbrothersband.com/l/7oacjt/11974350;http://kck.st/14qtp5M

Potrete versare dei contanti che saranno poi “girati” nel progetto dal management. Restano valide tutte le ricompense previste anche in questo caso.

“Help us fund our "Going Back To The Country" album, following the critically acclaimed PBB III, we're offering some great rewards!”

Hi! Welcome, we’re the Piedmont Brothers Band - to quote from our Web Page: (and please follow the link and check out our page, and hear some of our music, as you browse!) http://piedmontbrothersband.com/l/xrwoi2/11974350;http://www.piedmontbrothersband.com/

“The Piedmont Brothers Band bring their love of traditional Americana, Bluegrass and Country Rock, and mix in Celtic, New Orleans, and a bit of Gospel influence to produce music that reflects the variety of these influences, but is unified in the consistency and excellence of musicianship and quality of production. The last album, Piedmont Brothers Band III, released in September 2012, has already been getting radio play from the US, to Italy, Spain, France, Austria, Germany and France!!. Reviews have been highly favorable, and can be seen in the Reviews page of the Web Site. In each of their albums you’ll hear original songs in all of the genres mentioned above, as well as classic Country Rock and Bluegrass covers. And on the PBB III album, the Band is joined by some of the Country Rock pioneers that made the music that inspired us all! Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco), Rick Roberts (Flying Burrito Brothers, Firefall), Herb Pedersen (Emmylou Harris, Desert Rose Band), Jock Bartley (Gram Parson’s Fallen Angels, Firefall) and Patrick Shanahan (Stone Canyon Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage) all lend their talents and combine with the PBB players/singers to produce a one-of-a-kind album and a fantastic listening experience!!! “
New Project..."Going Back To The Country" album

So we’re ready to bring you more of the music we all love, (you will love the tracklist!) and we would LOVE to once again include some of the Country Rock legends that inspired us all!!! We’ve got commitments from Gene Parsons (Flying Burrito Brothers, Byrds and co-inventor of the B-bender, which he will play on our album), Jim Salestrom (Wild Jimbos, Dolly Parton), Stephen A Love and Patrick Shanahan (Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band, NRPS) and Buddy Cage (NRPS). We have a couple other big names in mind, depending on how much money we raise.

Financial Goals

OK, I just said the “M” word…we are trying to raise money for our “Going Back To The Country” album…for the band members, making the music is a labor of love, but we need to raise money to cover guest artist fees and studio time, as well as the actual cost of producing the CDs, including royalty payments for the cover songs. We really need to raise a minimum of $3000; $4000 would allow us to pay some back debts and bring some more “celebrity” artists on board! However the Kickstarter minimum goal will be set at $2500.

"Rarities" album

We have just completed work on an album called “Rarities”….we had been wanting to make an album focused on a more acoustic sound. We had tracks from previous, unreleased projects, that we updated and some alternate “takes” of some of our released tracks (the alternate take of “I Been Dreamin’ ‘Bout You” will blow you away!) This will ONLY be available to Kickstarter contributors!!!! A future Collector’s Item!!!!

Here is the Tracklist:

01. Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season) - Pete Seeger / Book of Ecclesiastes - © Melody Trails, Inc. (BMI)
02. Another Love (Alternate take) - Ron Martin - © Ron Martin (BMI)
03.  Hickory Wind - Gram Parsons / Bob Buchanan - © Chrysalis One Song, GPJ Music, Hot Burrito Music, Sixteen Stars Music (BMI)
04. Women And Waves - Jimmy Ibbotson (ASCAP)
05. I Like The Christian Life (Alternate take) - Ira & Charlie Louvin - © Sony/ATV Tree Publishing (BMI)
06. Kansas City Southern - Gene Clark - © Irving Music (BMI)
07. Leaves - Pam Richardson - © SOCAN
08. Willin'- Lowell George - © Naked Snake Music (ASCAP)
09. The Lowlands - Gary Scruggs - © Earthly Delights Muscic Co. (BMI)
10. My Everything Is You (Alternate take) - Ron Martin - © Ron Martin (BMI)
11. Train Leaves Here This Morning - Gene Clark / Bernie Leadon - © Gene Clark Music, Irving Music (BMI)
12. I Been Dreaming Bout You (Alternate take) - Ron Martin - © Ron Martin (BMI)
13. Tried So Hard - Gene Clark - © Gene Clark Music (BMI)
14. All My Trials - Traditional - © Public Domain

I hope you will be able to support this project, we have tried to offer rewards that will really “reward” you for your financial support, and find a balance that will allow us to raise some money, and also give you some value for your donation.

Risks and challenges 
We have completed and delivered 3 albums. We have mentioned here commitments from several celebrity artists; if health or some other unforseeable event causes them to be unavailable to record, we have contacts with several other "celebrity" artists that we could use instead. Otherwise, there is no risk to completing the project.

ALL THE BEST!!!
