S U P P O R T - our music

And here is where you come in....

Our Story

Me & Mr.Cassidy is an indie duo with roots in pop, folk, and jazz. Comprised of Scott Cassidy & Hope Leigh the charming group fills your ears with warm romantic tunes & stories galore. We met in October of 2010 and have been on a fast paced adventure ever since. We are currently working on a concept album in which all of the songs go in the chronological order of a genuine love story. The ups and downs and shifts in music mimic the emotional ups and downs these two take. We are so very excited to be a part of something so new and exciting!

The Impact

At this point, we have done everything in our power to establish ourselves as musicians. we have created a set of tunes that we love, and that our audiences have fallen in love with as well. We want to be able to continue to share this music by recording it and compiling the songs into a full length record. Without the help of our supporters financially, unfortunately, none of this can happen.

What We Need & What You Get

We need $3000 total to cover all of our expenses. The things that we are still in need of paying for are quite simple.

1) Flights to to travel to Charlotte North Carolina ( We are recording at the Bear Cave Studios with Justin Huey)

2) Actual Studio fees ( This covers recording & added instrumentation)

3) Mixing and Mastering ( This is done in a seperate studio and balances the music & makes sure it plays evenly in any musical player you'd like i.e. ipod vs. car etc)

4) Actual production costs. Having the Digital album made into a hard copy version you can take home with you from shows/ order online! Complete with Album Artwork etc. Signed Sealed and delivered if you so wish!

We also have some fun things that we would like to give you in return! Check out the perks in the side column and get excited! Consider it Karma! Give a little and get a little!

Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that money is tight for everyone right now ( hey, we're starting a campaign, we get it!) So if you can't donate money, perhaps you can donate a minute of your time or 140 characters onto your favorite networking site? By spreading the word, or passing along this link to someone you know who can help support indie artists, we appreciate it just as much! Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

All of the photos above were shot in Walnut, California, about 45 minutes East of LA. Our friend Christian who shoots with Ica often, came along as a location scouter and Second shooter.

we had so much fun taking these photos. I usually prefer to be behind the camera but we really got to play around with these! <3

This photo was shot at Sunset on Vista Del Mar Beach a private cove tucked behind LAX. West Bound flights take off over the pacific here, it is a magical little spot.

my S P A C E & you T U B E

Oh hey kids! this is a blogtasttic day for me. Why you ask? Well I am writing to you from a mere 36,348 ft. in the air on VirginAmerica { my most favorittest airline }. With wi-fi on board, I am left with a bunch of blog-ketchup-ing to do.

This post is about an update on the digital getdown side of my duo band " Me & Mr.Cassidy". We are begininng to leave our mark on the interwebs as we blast our new music and style on the many facades of the cyber world.

FLASHBACK :

Did you know myspace is cool again? oh yah. that baby is having a serious comeback. Facebook bought out Myspace, so basically it is just facebook but with music pages. so thats pretty cool - yah, everyone is on myspace, even your little sister and your creepy neighbor, so it's about time you revamp up your old page and friend us! If you don't want to get myspace again, thats cool you are probably already busy bookingface and twatting, i get it... but you can still reference our public page and listen to some of our new jams, so thats sweet.

You, yes you, can also find us on the tube! not the tv, the youtube. so far our original music is not posted, but we do have a sweet christmas series posted, and the originals are coming ASAP. if you like whatcha see, do me a solid favor and repost it wherever it is that you post and repost things of this sort in your personal cyberuniverse.
