Aim

With the help of her fantastic band, guest backing vocalists and you the listener Julia Turner is recording her second album!

Help me record my second album of original songs.

My name is Julia Turner.

I am a Bristol based musician. When I’m not out leading choirs in this fair city I am writing, performing and collaborating with other musicians. Singing is what I love to do. 

I have a number of songs that people have been asking me to record for a few years now, others that are hot off the press and many, many more lurking in the periphery of my mind waiting to be given the time and focus to properly form. I want to record my next album, in fact I’ve already put a few tracks down but without your help it’s never going to be fully realised any time soon. And I want you to hear it!

Here’s why it’s tricky. The creative process takes time and to get this precious time in a studio with a trained engineer and all that expensive technology is understandably pricey. Asking other musicians to take time out of their paid work to create music that is creatively fulfilling but doesn’t pay the bills is tough. Paying for a stack of CDs to be pressed up front is a big deal. For all these reasons and more it is essential that we raise some money to create this album so that nobody is out of pocket and we can enjoy our music making worry free.

This is where you come in. You wonderful people that support original music by purchasing CDs, coming to gigs and just generally giving your love and attention. I am asking you to pledge what you can to help me and the musicians I'm working with create new music for you to enjoy.I want to write you a poem, sing you your favourite song, write a song about you, perform in your living room or just give you that finished album for you to treasure knowing that you played a part in its creation.

It’s a big project but with your help we can do it!

Thank you!
