An invitation to support independent music        you love!
Dear Girish friends and fans,
 

Thank you so much for your continued support! Your response to our last email was amazing!

We have a new executive producer, Bob Holleman, and we've now raised 60% of what we need to complete the CD! 100% of the money we've raised has come from you, and we appreciate your contributions to the release of "Diamonds in the Sun"

Help us raise the remaining 40% and make our release date of April 16, 2010 - become an angel today! (Look in the side bar on the right of this email to see all the angel contribution categories).

If everyone reading this email contributes $9 at the Angel level (or increases their contribution by $9) we will reach
100% of our fund raising goal!

If you can contribute $9, you'll get a download of the whole CD in March, weeks before the street date! If you can contribute $36 or more, you'll get all the angel gifts listed in your category, Plus, one or two songs in January! Our New Years gift to you for helping us bring this CD to life.   

And we are asking for for another executive producer to come forward.

What is an executive Producer? A person who lends their financial support and contributes $3,600 or more. How is the executive producer compensated? The executive producer will receive a percentage of revenues based on the amount contributed, plus all of the gifts that are offered to angels in your contribution category, including your name on the CD. An executive producer will get paid quarterly, and will make all of their money back, and more.

We're only looking for executive producers within our circle as we feel this is best energetically for the CD and the tour
that follows - Executive Producers will be invited to lots of events and will become a special part of Girish Music!

If this sounds like you, email virginia@girishmusic.com or call Virginia at 310-488-1847 today to participate. We are
only able to accept one more executive producer on this CD, I hope one of them will be you!

Girish is hard at work full time in the studio for the next few weeks to finish "Diamonds in the Sun".

Now is when your contribution will make the most impact.
 
"Diamonds in the Sun" is an eclectic mix of sweet mantra ballads, devotional funk, and unforgettable melodies.  And for the first time, some English lyrics have made it into the mix! Some of the songs have been developing for a while and you may have heard various versions of them live in concert. Some you've never heard.
 
We're so grateful for your support in Girish's tours and events around the country, and the love and appreciation you've expressed for Girish's music. Your participation in this CD is an inspiration and a blessing to the creative process and the collaborative effort involved in bringing it to life.
 
Anything you contribute today will help keep the momentum going on Diamonds in the Sun.
 
You can pay by Paypal online, or email or call me (virginia@girishmusic.com, 310-488-1847) to pay by credit card or for details on sending a check.

If you'd like to donate at another level not listed here, please let me know. Yoga studios and Yoga teachers can contact me if you are interetsed in sponsoring the 2009/2010 tour (there are many great opportunities for logo placement and name recognition on Girish's International Tour!)
 
Thank you so much for your love and support! Stay tuned for more updates on the CD and the CD release party.
 
Blessings,
 
 
Virginia & the Girish Music team
