My new album is out now! Ten tracks of nerdy folk goodness, featuring such guest performers as Aaron J. Shay, Dogwood, Mai Li Pittard, Molly Lewis, Strangely, Nathaniel Johnstone, and Unwoman!
Click above to stream or download it from my Bandcamp store.
I offered to do a cover for the person who took my Kickstarter campaign over the finish line, and he requested the Space Jam theme. I may have gone slightly overboard?
Still, this was so much fun I decided to extend the offer: ANYONE who pledges/increases their pledge to $50 or more between now and when we meet that stretch goal gets to request a cover!
Hey kids! I just launched the Kickstarter for my new album, and we’re already at 37%! Go check it out, throw some change at it if you can, and share it with anyone you think might be into it. I’m about halfway done with the album already and I only have until I leave for tour in March to get it all done, so any kind of help is vastly appreciated!
I don’t know if embedding a livestream will work, but let’s find out!
From 3-4pm PST today (Friday!), I’ll be livestreaming the launch of my Kickstarter! I’m crowdfunding the expenses for my very first studio album, which is already half finished! Tune in!
Once I launch, this link will direct you to the Kickstarter: bit.ly/sarahshayKS
I haven’t been posting every song in my month-o-covers project here, but it’s still going strong! Yesterday’s song was an original, written as a first birthday present for my best friend’s baby. Check it out, along with the other *seventeen* songs I’ve recorded so far this month!
I’m so stoked to have my friend @iamstrangely playing accordion with me on today’s cover! You know you love a punk cover on uke and accordion.
I haven’t been posting every single one of these covers on Tumblr, but I’m still posting them and am still on track! I had to post this one, because I know some of my Tumblrinos are also fellow Adventurekateers ^_^
I love Richard & Linda Thompson so much, you guys. If I get through this cover-a-day project without covering at least one more of their songs, it’ll be very surprising.
Guys, we’re so tired. Can you tell from the photo? Please listen to this song that we stayed up late making for your enjoyments!
I finally uploaded one while it was still the right day on the east coast, too! GO TEAM ME.
I got my third cover-a-day song up before midnight last night, but Patreon went down for maintenance before I posted here on the Tumbls, so I figured I’d wait until today. And then I forgot until now ^^;
Enjoy anyway!
It’s Day 2, and I got my song online just under the wire! Song #2 is They Might Be Giants’ “Lucky Ball and Chain,” one of my favorites for busking.
A while back I set one of @seriousswaim‘s poems to music, because I thought it was sweet and because I was in a songwriting slump and it seemed like a good idea. I reached out to see if he’d be ok with me sharing it, and he said yes because he’s a champ.
I hope you like it ^_^
I was sad tonight, so I wrote a song. GET ON MY LEVEL.
In case you missed it, I put out a new song this week! Get into that it’s-almost-Halloween spirit.
I just posted a brand new song about my favorite time of year! Seriously, I just wrote this a couple of weeks ago. It’s hot off the presses!
If you like the video, consider supporting me on Patreon? That’d be totally awesome.
Tonight, my friend elizarickman played a house show for her birthday, and I joined her in playing “Waiting Around Again” (which you can watch us play here).
Eliza’s songs are so much more beautiful than anything I will ever create, so it’s nice to get to be a part of one of them every now and then ^_^
