I would love some feedback about this project.
WHAT IT IS
For many recovering addicts it’s in rehab they discover there are often musical triggers to their abuse, (the songs associated with using) and then they have to learn how to avoid those triggers that are essentially the soundtrack to their addiction. We’re hoping through Indiegogo we can raise the money we need to produce an album and also get started developing a website to help recovering addicts begin their own Soundtrax 2 Recovery: A collection of songs to help heal and bring hope to the recovering addict.
Last year, some addiction recovery sponsors found out that John Batdorf and I were working on a project with the working title of 12 songs for 12 steps and asked if we'd do a concert for several recovering addicts. Turns out it was about 700 addicts and their families who attended. The concert gave John and I a chance to see if our songs made a difference with the audience. We were overwhelmed with the feedback we got that evening. The show received a tremendous response, people waiting in line for nearly an hour to thank us, and after receiving several hand written notes from addicts at the show saying "please hurry and get these songs recorded” we realized that the need was great and the urgency even greater.
John and I are singer/songwriters with a passion to let the power of music help people trying to change. We’ve been wearing out our lives the last forty plus years as professional songwriters hoping to make a difference. Although we understand we're not the only guys who have songs that could help, we want to get the ball rolling. We've got an entire album of songs written and ready to be recorded.
When the album is completed we're planning to get a website set up that we’re calling SoundTrax2Recovery where we can eventually provide a sort of "clearing house" for songs that help and inspire people trying to overcome their addictions. Doing the album is the first step in realizing our goal.
