Five Local Musicians Who Need a Kick

Help Bay Area artists record their albums

For the uninitiated, Kickstarter is a crowdfunding site where the public can donate to cultural projects and businesses. A monetary goal is set for a project, but it won't be funded unless at least that amount is raised in a set time period (typically 30 days).

Take a look at some current Kickstarter initiatives involving Bay Area artists and support local music:

Derek Rolando & Desert Chant hopes to raise $6,000 to record an album with members of Santana.

Robert Strom has already surpassed his goal of $10,000 five times over to assist in creating a musical evening dedicated to cabaret legend Mabel Mercer.

Front Country is looking for help to record a debut album of progressive bluegrass.

Mark Nelsen seeks the means to create a proper video to his self-described "neuro psych pop" single.

Jane Kim is recording a debut EP of soul songs that she says are reminiscent of Adele, Sara Bareilles, and Norah Jones.
