Consider supporting Levi Weaver
Levi Weaver is a musician who lives in Nashville. I've written about him on a few occasions, most recently this piece with a very cool video in it. He's not really a friend, though he spent the night here when we hosted a house show, and I doubt he'd recognize me. I just like his music, and I like that he keeps on working at his art no matter what.
Now, he's made a new album, Your Ghost Keeps Finding Me. He says it's his best yet, a common claim but one that, in this case, I believe. He's running a PledgeMusic project to try to raise enough money to bring it out. (PledgeMusic is somewhat like KickStarter and other crowdfunding vehicles.) I pledged $125 to help make the album happen and to get the associated cool merch. You can pledge as little as $15 to get a CD.
He doesn't know I'm writing this; as I said, I doubt he remembers me. I get no payment for doing this. I just believe in supporting artists whose work touches us. I appreciate it greatly every single time someone buys one of my books, and I'm sure Levi feels the same way about his music.
Give a listen to his music, or check out the video link I gave above, and then consider helping him along. You'll get cool stuff, and we'll all get a new album I want to hear.
