Drummer Aaron Staebell on playing “AfterHours” and our Collaborations

2 more days to go, and I can’t believe I’m aiming for the $8k mark now on my Indiegogo campaign! This is amazing, and I’m extremely grateful for the support I received yesterday and this morning! Click here to view Jennifer Bellor’s Indiegogo Campaign

Also, please check out this video my friend, drummer and composer Aaron Staebell, made to pitch my album campaign! At the beginning he is playing my solo drum piece “AfterHours” followed by some incredibly kind words about our collaborations beginning around 2:16. At end of video, he put my composition “Uprising” in the background, which he also premiered. He is recording “AfterHours” along with some jazz compositions for my album. (Thanks, Aaron! =))

11 More days to go for Indiegogo Campaign!

11 days to go for my Indiegogo campaign I launched for my first album, and just wanted to say a big and warm ‘THANK YOU’ to those of you who have helped by contributing or sharing the link with your friends! Every little bit is going to help me record and mix this album, and am truly grateful for all of the encouragement! As of now, the funds I have raised are going to go towards the recording and partial mixing, so please check out the link, share with your friends, and really appreciate it if you want to consider contributing!
