Gil McKinney’s Kickstarter to make a Christmas album has ended with not only reaching the intended goal but exceeding it as well. The 223 backers have raised $22,621 in support of creating the album which will be produced by Jason Manns.
Those who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign will be getting perks such as a digital download of the album, a signed CD, signed Christmas card, a Christmas ornament, a session with Gil on Skype and others.
Gil plans to record the album in September/October to have it ready for the end of November, so it can be enjoyed for the Holiday season.
There have been some teasers from Gil on his Twitter account about a list for potential songs.
Sent @jasonmanns a list (checked it twice) of potential songs for the upcoming Christmas album. We may even have a surprise duet or two. Thanks again to all who have joined the @kickstarter!
