I'd be best off saying once again a BIG thanks to all who supported the Rockethub campaign!
The 'recording' part of recording is done, and if I can say is sounding pretty great! I'm very excited about it! I've been working with Brian Speaker of 'Speakersonic' in Brooklyn NY, and he has been just amazing to work with on so many levels!
The next part of the process is mixing, then mastering...then the album artwork (which for me is the hard part...I'm not sure why!)
To all those who supported, I'll soon be sending out forms for you to fill in with your postage info, as well as T-shirt sizes, and any other info that might be relevent to your 'pledge', so be sure to keep an eye out for that in the upcoming weeks!
We just want to say a BIG thanks to all those who helped with the 'crowd funding' through Rockethub for Bird to Prey to start recording her album! We were successful in our mission and are excited to be getting in the studio soon! keep an eye and ear out for more recording news soon!
I am very excited to announce that I am gearing up to record my second album! It's been 4 years since my first album (We are not kings here) was released and I'm MORE than ready for this new one to come out! I am currently trying to raise funds to make this happen, and I'm looking for a little help from YOU :) - If you're interested in supporting this in a 'financial' way (you can support as little or as much as you want!) please check out my 'Rockethub' Page at the link below! There are lots of incentives for supporting this project, including the new album when it comes out!! A million thanks from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to consider this! Hope to have a new album in my (and your) hot little hands by the end of the year! Sarah. http://www.rockethub.com/projects/6835-bird-to-prey-is-recording-an-album

Bird to Prey would like to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year! It's been a slightly crazy year for me - it's been a year since I left Toronto and almost a year living in New York City! Many ups and downs living in this crazy town, but mostly ups (They say the first year living here is the hardest) so I'm looking forward to the future and processing all that's been and I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be a very exciting year indeed! I have a small tour booked in Early Feb - heading to Chicago and a few places in between (more info will be coming soon) and have just booked a last minute show at the Sidewalk Cafe this coming Thursday Dec 30 at 8pm! What a way to say farewell to 2010! Hope to see you - and thank you for all your support!
Well it's been a little while since we last communicated - I have been residing in NYC since February now and things are going quite well overall here in the big smoke I have to say! I've been exploring the streets of this fine City and a big thing for me is discovering the local Anti-Folk scene, which as 'scenes' go is quite amazing! A lot of history and SO many talented and inspiring artist. I've been playing songs quite regularly at the infamous open mics (or Antihoots) - as well as doing a few shows at the legendary Sidewalk Cafe on Ave A (Speaking of which I'll be playing on Wed July 14 at 11pm - and I've just been booked to performing at the Anti-Folk Festival in August! More details in the 'Shows' section - very exciting) And I have to say I'm feeling inspired in a way that I haven't really felt before - I'm feeling excited about the future here!
More TBA soon!
