Only seven days left to sponsor Eric Peters' new album!

Hi folks. Bear hugs and heartfelt thanks to each of you who contributed to my new album, Birds of Relocation. However, there is still quite a bit of ground to cover in order to reach the $12,000 goal by Friday 11/18/11.

 If you are not familiar with the Kickstarter platform (which I am using for this project), it observes the "all or nothing" tactic, i.e., if we don't reach the goal, then you get your money back, and I, the artist/patronee, receive $0 of what has been committed thus far to the project. Like I said, all or nothing. That's why it is key in these few remaining days to continue spreading the word via your favorite social media outlets, blogs, emails and megaphones. Any and all friendly and persuasive tactics are welcome. This is a team effort, and I welcome your continued support. Let's make this thing happen!

Lastly, my good friend and producer, Ben Shive, has generously offered his services to the Kickstarter campaign. At this newest tier, affectionately dubbed "The More Cowbell", Ben will produce, record and mix one song of yours at his studio, The Beehive, in Nashville, TN. Ben is good for the soul and good for your song. Thanks, guys! -- Eric

ERiC PETERS BiRDS  of  ReLOCATION The new album by Eric Peters (and you)! Dear Friends, Two years ago I made a record called Chrome in which I enlisted the financial support of fans. If you supported the making of that album, THANK YOU! Here in the year of our Lord, 2011, I am embarking upon a brand new record with the immensely talented Ben Shive producing. Once again I am asking for your patronage, this time using the secure platform offered by Kickstarter.com Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money at all changes hands. This way, there is less risk for everyone. The catch, of course, is that I must raise my full budget by November 18, or else go empty-handed. A delightful aspect of the Kickstarter platform is the ability to offer you rewards and incentives for your patronage, including early downloads, your name listed as a "patron" in the liner notes, and even a crawfish or crab boil at my home in Nashville, TN!  Please visit my Kickstarter page for futher details, and consider supporting the making of Birds of Relocation. Thank you in advance for any support you are able & willing to offer. I am eager for you to hear the bright new songs. Until then, see you on hope's boughs. -- Eric Tell your friends! The easiest way to help is to pass it on! Forward this email to a friend >>

Under The Radar House Show Tour

I am so thrilled to announce this! I'm teaming up with the super-kind folks at Under the Radar (with whom I have done two previous tours in the Chicago area) for a house show tour anywhere within the continental USA. Let me repeat: Anywhere.

You may be thinking to yourself, "Neat, sounds fun, but I bet it's expensive." Be at peace, grasshopper. UTR is subsidizing the entire trip. Cost to each host is a mere $150 American dollars. That's not a typo. UTR will fund the rest (travel, lodging, meals) of the tour expenses. You may also be thinking, "But, Eric, we're a church and we'd like to host you. Is that possible?" The offer is by no means closed to churches, schools, colleges, airstrips, other venues, etc...., but the price runs a little more than $150 (not by much).

Is there a deadline? Yes. All tour inquiries must be submitted before July 21, 2011.

Interested? For more tour details, booking inquiries or general information, please contact:
