30 Days to make $6,500? With your help and credit cards, we’ll blow our goal out of the water!

The two of us are genuinely honored to live amongst such a supporting community of family and friends, all sharing in this new adventure we are embarking on, and we cannot wait to see this goal surpassed. The process of creating an album and reaching an audience can be an exhausting challenge, but through this Kickstarter we have an opportunity to directly reach the people that wish to support us and truly create an ongoing relationship through networking.

- Nathan and Rachel

Biography:

Childhood friends, and now, intimate friends, Nathan Earl Allebach and Rachel Joy Moyer come from different musical backgrounds with a common sound. The couple currently leads worship every Monday evening at a young adults group called “The Way” that meets at Main Street Java in Souderton, and are youth leaders for Rock Community Church in Harleysville. This first album “Repose” will be their debut and includes a full-band accompaniment with styles reminiscing of John Mark Mcmillan, The Welcome Wagon, Dustin Kensrue, Land of Talk, and City and Colour.

Nathan began pushing his writing with a secular folk project called “Earl and Raine” in 2010, then continued as “Earl” through 2011, playing out in most entry level venues around the Philadelphia area such as Milkboy, The Note, North Star Bar, The Fire, Siren Records, and so on; as well as being featured on Radio 104.5.

Rachel started by writing independently in 2009 and attended school at Morningstar, where she lead on a worship team that pushed her music in front of large audiences, as well as improved her song structuring amongst musicians such as John Mark McMillan, Jonathan and Melissa Helser, Amber Brooks, and Leonard Jones.

The two came together in early 2013 with instant musical chemistry, and a drive to push their gifting within the relationship as part of this current journey. The album "Repose" will contain 12 mastered tracks, along with any bonus tracks that can be afforded.

The $6,500 in funds raised for this project will go towards:

Recording/Mixing ------------------------ $1,200

Mastering --------------------------------- $1,000

Studio Musician Compensation --------- $900

Album Artwork/Design ------------------- $800

CD Pressing (300 copies) ---------------- $600

Video Production ------------------------- $500

Promotional Photography/Video -------- $500

Online Advertising ------------------------ $500

Misc. Shipping/Expenses/Time/Gas ---- $500

After carefully calculating our needs for this campaign and the low/high ends of each expense, we came to this safe median number. However, depending on time spent and resources used, we could easily need more in certain areas, so with your help we plan to blow past it and treat everyone (including you) for the hard work invested!

What You Can Do:

To the right of this page are numerous package options that we have put together as tokens of gratitude for your support in our goals. They include early downloads, bonus tracks, personalized letters, lyric sheets, art, concert tickets, and more. To whatever degree you choose to donate, we wish to show you our utmost sincerity.

If we do not reach our goal of $6,500, none of your credit cards will be charged, none of the prizes sent out, and our album will not be completed or released until further notice.

All of your support, no matter how small or large, means so much to us, and the friendship and dedication you have for us as individuals in this new stage of our lives means more than we can express. We hope to stay true to our local community by keeping the music scene alive with shows and events at Rock Café that we promote and book, and would love to connect with any supporter’s that we can.
