Long time Lifehouse fan and former member of this forum, Mike Finley is trying to garner support to release his new independent record. So far he released two EPs, the second of which had some success in the way that one of his songs was picked up by Chris Tomlin for his highly praised album Hello Love. There are only a few days left to back Mike on his kickstarter campaign and while he doesn't feel there is enough time left, I would like to encourage you to at least try and chip in. If he doesn't end up making his target, you'll get the money back anyway. He's an immensely talented singer/songwriter and many of the longtime forum members will remember his songs and his Lifehouse covers. Wouldn't it be cool if we could all bump him up closer to his target together? Anyhoo, here's the link, listen for yourself and hopefully you'll consider helping him: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikefinleymusic/mike-finley-new-day

Hey Koen! Thanks for the support. Didn't make it but it was nice to see that people cared.

Damn, Mike. I'm sorry I didn't see this. Don't give up, man. Do another kickstarter and I'll help you out. This is a tricky business. You're super talented, man.

PS- The bridge of the song on your kickstarter video is amazing. Amazing

Hey man, thanks a lot. Really appreciate that! Gonna wait a while before trying again, try to drum up a bit more support and all. But I'm glad you like the song!

If you ever decide to give it another go, try pledgemusic (or some other crowdfunding option that allows people to pay with paypal / non-credit card option). Gives more people (especially younger people) the chance to chip in.

I agree with Koen, give it a chance on pledgemusic. I wish I could help this time, but I'm broke. Keep us informed in the future

Thanks! I'll have a bit of a marketing strategy re-think and if I feel inspired enough to give it another bash I will. Feel a bit knocked back, you know...

There are a couple of things that could help (primarily using people who already know your previous work, like several people here, a more focused approach on social media and a proper, interactive website). Besides that endorsements from known artists always help tremendously, so it may be time to talk some of your music friends into helping you campaign. Of course I'll chip in too if you decide to give it another go!
