Lynne Jordan | A Great Big Diva

I’m making two recordings. Finally!

April 21, 2022 By //  by Lynne Jordan

Hey Folks! It’s been a long time and so much has happened. I will just talk about the exciting news. It’s been 20 years since I made a recording. I made A Bit o Fun in 2002 and Holiday Shivers in 2004. They were both self-produced.  Fast forward to 2022 and still no label interest, not that I actively pursued it, but there are some great labels here in Chicago and they have zero interest. So, I find myself self producing again. The difference is that we are coming out from the dead stop of the Pandemic and mama ain’t got a dime outside of my rent and utilities. I was sitting here trying to figure out how I can pivot and kickstart my performing life and get more concert gigs like the wonderful experience I have found at The Raue Center.  I must reintroduce my special brand of artistry to the world. Making a cd is the answer. Video is the answer too. The only way I can do this is to ask for help from my loyal supporters. My following has believed in me more than I have believed in myself.

So I have created a crowdfunding campaign via Gofundme. It launched on Friday and I have raised two thousand dollars so far. I am hopeful. The EP’s (short program recordings packaged like a full length recording 8-10 songs, but these will have five songs. On the other hand, if I this project gains traction (raise enough money) I might just make two full cd’s. But I shouldn’t get ahead  of myself. I need to raise at least $10K. I only asked for $7500 but if it is successful, I can raise more. The costs are big. Studio time, engineering, mastering, packaging for physical CD’s, graphic design, web design, musicians, photography plus I want to do a music video! Big dreams but I insist on making this a reality. My livelihood and career trajectory depends on it.

If anyone is reading this, Click on this link. Donate and/or share with your friends! Everyone who donates gets a copy of the project. I will of course create a digital format for downloading.

Here we go. I am encouraged by the response thus far. Join me on this journey!

Love, Lynne
