My goal with this grant is have financial support in the recording of new original music with my band Glitteratti. Glitteratti were beginning a tour in support of a just released album as COVID-19 hit last Spring. The money we would have made from that tour would have helped us start recording new music. I am thankful for the ARAC resource as it greatly assists me in continuing to live and work as an artist during the pandemic. I have recorded and released over 20 albums of original music since moving to Duluth in 2006. Achieving this goal of releasing new Glitteratti music according to my specific timetable is an exciting and achievable endeavor.I will call this project a success when I have recorded and digitally released five new original songs with my band Glitteratti. We will record at the beginning of February and release the music in May 2021.
With this grant I was able to achieve my goal of recording new music with my band Glitteratti. Grant funds afforded me four days of recording with engineer Adam Krinsky.
