ACTION REQUIRED: Double check your address.
We just sent the books and CDs to the printers! It's been a big project, as our little idea of seven songs and a few dozen simple books has grown into 5,000 books, 11 songs, illustrated sheet music of the melodies, and essays from amazing folks on both sides of the Atlantic. We are so incredibly excited to be sharing this music with you, but we need your help.

In the next week you should be receiving a survey that will ask, among other things, for your current address. (If you don't, please check your spam!) Many of you did not give this piece of information when you first donated, and others realized afterwards that they made a mistake. Please double check this so we send your rewards to the right place!
You will also have the chance to pick up extra copies of the book, or other cds, but rest assured you are already getting the reward you selected, no need to order again! If you ordered a digital download or song arrangements, you will be automatically given that as well!

Our album launch is August 17th in Cambridge MA at Club Passim, (order tickets here!) and we will be shipping starting then, so please make sure to complete the survey before to insure the swiftest delivery of your reward! 

Thank you for your patience and support in this amazing process. You have touched our lives; we hope we touch yours.

Love,
Windborne
Jeremy, Lauren, Lynn, Will

SONG ON THE TIMES Digital Downloads are now available!

Dear friends, Windborne is beyond thrilled to announce the arrival of our pre-release digital downloads, available only to YOU, our Indiegogo backers! Check your email for your unique code then follow these instructions to listen!

Step 1: Go to https://windborne.bandcamp.com/yum
Step 2: Copy your unique code
Step 3: Chose your music format, click download, and ENJOY!

With this download, you will get high-quality digital copies of all 11 songs on our album, plus access to a PDF document with easy-to-read lyrics. This document is a supplement to the Songbook, not the Songbook itself! The Songbook and CDs are on track to be delivered in August after our CD Release Concert at Club Passim, but we know you've been waiting patiently for this project for many months and wanted you to be able to sing along to these fabulous songs as soon as possible!

Soon, we will be sending out a survey to make sure we have your mailing address and any other info we need to fulfill your orders. Keep an eye on your inbox and please add [email protected] to your contacts so our emails don't go to your spam folder!

Want to know more about how SONG ON THE TIMES evolved from the spark of an idea into the project you are receiving? Read the story on our blog!

We could not have done this project without your support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing that music can change the world. We hope you love this album as much as we do!

In song and solidarity,
Lauren, Lynn, Will, and Jeremy

THANK YOU!!

Dear Friends,

You have not only made our dreams come true, you have surpassed them in every way!  Our Song on the Times Indiegogo campaign has ended and we have raised nearly $77,000 – over 1,500% our original goal!  Thanks to you, nearly 3,000 songbooks will be shipped to all 50 States, as well as 20 other countries around the world!  We are overflowing with gratitude!

Thanks to this response we have decided to add to the project! Earlier this month, we had another great day in Alan Stockwell’s fantastic recording studio adding some guest instrumentalists to one of our tracks, and we have another weekend of recording scheduled next month, where we will be adding a new song to the project. Artwork continue to be created, layout and binding options considered, and previously recorded audio continues to be edited.  We are happy to say that we are still on track to have the physical product in hand this summer to ship out!

We are just as excited as you to see this dream finished into a physical reality, and it is because of you that it is possible!  Thank you for standing up for music, for art, for democracy, for the oppressed and downtrodden!  You are helping to create music to comfort, to inspire, and to bring people together.  Together, our voices will spread and change the future for all! 

In deepest gratitude and solidarity,

-Windborne

Lauren, Lynn, Will, Jeremy

P.S. If you have friends who missed the deadline, they can still pre-order on the page for a little while, until we go to printing, so do let them know!

DELIVERY TIMELINE 

First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed, shared our project on social media, told a friend, and helped us build this movement through music. We continue be be blown away by the response to this project and we owe it all to YOU!

We've been getting a lot of questions about the delivery timeline, and as we say in the project description, books and CDs will ship this summer, and we will be sending out advance downloads this spring! 

As with many Indiegogo projects, we began our fundraising while the project is still in progress. We are so grateful for your support and ask for your patience while we finish recording, creating the artwork, finalizing the bookbinding, and working with our contributing authors. We are still on track with our original timeline!

If you just can’t wait, please do check out our website  windbornesingers.com, which has a bunch of our music, both to listen for free on SoundCloud and that you can download. You can also hear the whole (unedited) song we sang at Trump Tower on this episode of The Mike Harding Folk Show: mikehardingfolkshow.com/podcast-214/ (listen at 1:18:30)

In gratitude,

Lauren, Lynn, Jeremy, and Will

Dear Musical Resistors,

Our new stretch goal isn't measured in money; it's measured in People!!

We have a Grassroots Goal of involving 5,000 people in this movement, making it one of the top-10 most backed music crowdfunding projects in history! We want to send a powerful message to Trump and his cronies that the low folk are rising, we are standing up, singing out, and fighting back! We need your help!

As of right now, we have 1725 backers, and 30 days to make history. If we all get two friends or neighbors involved, we would make that goal. Will you help us make history and spread these songs across the country? Sometimes music can change hearts, even when minds have been made up. We find that the best way is to send someone an email or message with our video, and tell them about the project and why you are supporting Song on the Times, and you can find an example to copy, paste, and edit at the bottom of this message. If you are connected to media, publicity, or other ways of getting out the word and would be interested in helping us in a more specific way, please get in touch

As you might imagine, the response to Song On The Times has taken us all by surprise. We are overwhelmed with gratitude, and at the same time we feel called to do more, to use our music to create that change in peoples' hearts, to give strength, and to speak truth to power.  There are some big decisions in our future, but each new person who supports us pulls us further towards dedicating ourselves more fully to this music and this struggle. 
Thank you again for your support, and we hope to sing with you all one day soon
In harmony
Jeremy, Will, Lauren, and Lynn
