Jamie VanEffen hasn't added a story.
Hi!
Im Jamie VanEffen and i'm asking for help raising money for equipment upkeep/upgrades for my podcast/voiceover/jingle making studio.
I've been recording Michigan based artists and groups for over two decades now. I have always provided a low cost option for up and coming bands as well as documenting (then sharing) live music whenever i can.
These days i'm also a father/house husband and caregiver for my 12 year old son with Cerebral Palsy. And I don't get a chance to get out to shows nearly as much. I do however, still have connections in the scene and have a space that can accommodate full bands comfortably plus a decent amount of gear to record them performing live.
My goal is to have a free monthly show/podcast that features independent artists performing and being interviewed. The plan is record a half hour/forty minute set for the show. And if interested, folks can choose to record more for a nominal fee. Im also working on getting a setup to do voiceover/jingles/advertising work as a revenue stream.
The reason i am asking for help is, a lot of my gear is severely outdated and needs maintenance or replacement. I also am trying to get a higher end camera and up to date computer to do all this work on. At this point in my families life we just don't have the extra income to be able to do this. Between the astronomical out of pocket costs of a special needs child and the fact that i can't work a standard job because of the need to be available at all times, as his caregiver. He will routinely miss weeks, even months of school at a time, doctor appointments, therapies, etc ...my partner is the primary breadwinner of the family and her missing work is not an option. So, if i can get this ball rolling, and i can create a way to work from home and continue to help independent artists this would be massively beneficial to our family and to local independent musicians.
All contributors will receive download codes and streaming access to all current music pages as well as become partners with special access to extra content of the local music show, both online and sent materials. i.e. full performance DVD, video extras, audio, interviews, archived stuff, etc. once the show begins. For specia contributors, I also plan on doing pasties, cookies, (maybe some home cooked meals for locals). If this becomes regularly profitable, ill try to pay folks back.
Please consider helping me out if you can
Peace,
Pops
