Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal for this project involves traveling to Nashville with my band to record a 4 - 5 song EP at Welcome to 1979 Studio, also fulfilling a prize I was awarded for one full day of recording time at this studio. This EP will be mastered directly to vinyl on their in-house lathe. I will send it to be duplicated shortly after to create 200 vinyl albums. I will hold an EP release party to celebrate the new music and my first vinyl record in Duluth and seek local and national press and radio. The measurable outcomes of this project will include: Finishing the recording of 4 - 5 songs in our two day period. Mastering the album. Duplicating the LPs. Booking an EP release party in summer 2016. Receiving 3+ reviews locally and nationally.

Measurable Outcome(s)

My band traveled to Nashville and recorded a 4 song EP at Welcome to 1979 Studio. The EP is being processed for duplication on vinyl to be released in May 2017.
