Hi

I’ve decided to plunge into the new world of crowd-funding.

If you’re not familiar with crowd-funding, it’s sort of like pre-ordering an album...but with various ‘perks’ available to those who contribute to the crowd-funding campaign.

Why am I doing this?

Being a truly independent musician has always made it financially challenging for me to both release music and get myself out on tour to play live for you all. With crowd-funding, fans themselves have taken the place of the old music business model of big corporate record labels.

Fans are now directly supporting the artists they care about.

The crowd-funding platform makes it possible for me to reach out directly to my fans and friends everywhere in the world to build support around a particular project – in this case, my new album and a global tour to bring the music to you live. This is where you come in.

My Indiegogo campaign has just gone live! It's over at Indiegogo.

I need you to support the campaign either by contributing for a perk or by contributing any amount using the big pink “contribute” button...and by sharing the campaign through your social networks: Facebook, G+, Twitter, LinkedIn, or any other network you are on, and through email to friends.

As a survivor of the ‘old’ music business, I took a long hard look at the idea of doing this before finally deciding to go for it. All of my research has shown crowd-funding to be both a rewarding experience for fans and a fantastic source of support for independent artists like me. I hope you’ll have a look at my campaign, check out the perks, and give it your support.Thanks so much, and see you out there :^)

Your faithful guitar player.
Preston

Spirit

Latest release

"With Spirit, though, Reed got much more personal, much more approachable, more like a classic jazz guitarist... a more conventional approach and the music itself changed from the fiendishly well worked out to a largely conversational song form." - Rob Adams, The Herald

"...the dreamy, jazzy mood is suggested by titles such as "Gershwin" and "Sultry Wes"... Interestingly, electricity brings out the openness and elegance of his playing." - Mike Butler, Metro UK

"His beautifully articulated melodic explorations are beguiling, and the recorded sound is crystal clear." - Kenny Mathieson, The List
