Multi-instrumentalist folk musician, Kyle Ollah, will be creating an album compromised of the material he's learned out of the American folksong tradition. These recordings are set to take place at Sacred Heart Music Center with a goal to support Ollah as a working musician, as well add something of his own to the greater picture of the American folk tradition. In an effort to share the music and develop Ollah as a working musician, these recordings will be replicated to CD form by Copycats in Minneapolis, digitally distributed through CdBaby, ITunes and Spofity, as well as uploaded to streaming sources such as Bandcamp, Youtube, and Soundcloud. I aim to create an album that is as stunning sonically as it is visually. Given the work I've seen with previous projects, I have full confidence that this will be accomplished through working with Tom Fabjance and Wolfskull Creative. In creating this project I aim to support myself by selling these recordings, and through CD sales and online downloads it will be easy to track the outcomes success of this project.
This grant help me record and produce a body of songs to create my first full-length album of American Folksongs. This record will be used for sale at live shows, as well as distributed online. Through these sales I will not only be able to support myself as a working folk musician, but also make the old folk songs of our country that much more available to new audiences.
