Welcome To Doe Bay – the documentary!
So you have probably read my babble about how much I enjoyed my first Doe Bay Festival this year and if you were one of the lucky ones who also attended you will be right there with me remembering the majesty of the weekend. If you weren’t at Doe Bay you are probably by now sick and tired of hearing about it. What everyone who attended agrees on, is that it was very special, and with that in mind there are a group of folks who are trying to make a documentary that will attempt to capture what sets this festival apart.
The trouble is they need more money. That’s where you come in. This documentary has the chance to showcase an impressive list of Pacific Northwest talent to a big audience… like the rest of the world! The type of exposure a good documentary could bring to the bands featured could make a big difference, bands like The Maldives, The Head and the Heart, Champagne Champagne, Ravenna Woods, Lemolo, Cobirds Unite, Damian Jurado, Tony Kevin Jr., Fort Union, John Vanderslice (SF), Campfire OK, Brian John Appleby, Keli Schaefer, Pickwick, Sarah Cahoone, Mash Hall, Don’t Talk to the Cops, Fly Moon Royalty and Ben Fisher.
The producers of “Welcome To Doe Bay” have started a Kickstarter project and they need to raise $8,500 by Dec 10. They currently have $3,493 after my $75 contribution. Every little bit will count so if you have an interest in helping document Doe Bay because you were there, or you’d like to help a film that is showcasing great local talent, click here and donate what you can…
And because I know you guys like a teaser…
Don’t forget the Welcome to Doe Bay Fest documentary fundraiser this Friday…. 11/11/11 at Columbia City Theater at 9pm!
I am a HUGE, like heavy-weight-Champion HUGE, fan of the Doe Bay Sessions – any way I can support this venture just zoomed up to the top of my ‘to do’ list.
woot woot!!!
