Looking for a cool way to support the music you love? Roots of Creation announced this week they are working on a new album, Dub Free or Die Vol #1, and there is an opportunity to help support the album’s funding through a Kickstarter donation.
According to the band’s Kickstarter project page, lead singer, Brett Wilson, said, “Our goal is to release a song every month for the foreseeable future, drop our completed album “Dub Free or Die” in the Spring, and if we hit our STRETCH GOALS, we'll start recording two more albums: an original lyric based EP and Grateful Dub Vol. #2.”
On the value Kickstarter brings, Wilson said, “The new Kickstarter campaign is full of choice backer rewards, including early access to new RoC music, test pressings of the new album, personalized songs written by RoC, private full length livestream concerts, and even private backyard concerts!” He added, “It’s 2021. We’re done talking about last year and we’re not gonna let it all happen again THIS YEAR. Roots of Creation spent ages building ourselves up, touring like crazy, all while still making records. We can’t really play shows right now, so this is us saying ‘Hey, we’re going to continue to adapt’.”
Roots of Creation said on the Kickstart project page, “Dub Free or Die” is our first self-produced album made for our DIE HARD fans who love that progressive rock and jam meets reggae sound. It will be released once we reach our initial project goal and your support will help us promote the record, press the vinyl, hire graphic designers, and everything else that goes into a new album release.”
The band’s goal is to hit $20,000 in funding and at the time of this writing has reached $6,787. Fans and new listeners can back the project until April 22nd at 8:59 a.m. PDT.
We are pumped to hear the new Roots of Creation music! Look out for our artist profile interviewing featuring Brett next week!
Strength, the fourteenth song on Roots of Creation’s 2016 album, Livin’ Free, is today’s Daily Reggae Song of the Day.
