Bryan Duncan Releases "Little Bit At A Time" Video
Tupelo, MS (PRWEB) November 20, 2013 -- Music legend Bryan Duncan is releasing a live performance video of Little Bit At A Time on YouTube and Vimeo. Duncan recorded the video live, unplugged style, at Palmtree Productions' 4,000-square-foot facility in Tupelo, Mississippi. Palmtree Productions, Inc. is an award-winning video production company specializing in music videos, commercials and corporate videos.
"We've always been huge fans of Bryan Duncan," says Anne Palmer, Producer and Palmtree Productions President. "We were very excited when Christopher Redner contacted us about the opportunity to work with Bryan on a video for his Conversations album! Bryan traveled to our studio to record unplugged versions of some of the songs from his new album with Tupelo-area musicians. It was a pleasure watching Bryan perform and interact with everyone, including many he'd never met until that day."
"Bryan's professionalism, amazing voice and great sense of humor made it a fun and rewarding experience for us."
Duncan recently announced a crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of new videos and the release two new albums. The campaign, which runs through December 8, would produce a live album, a studio recording of new songs and new music videos. Duncan must reach his campaign goal to receive any funding, according to Kickstarter’s policy.
Duncan has released 14 solo albums, three with the NehoSoul Band and seven with the Sweet Comfort Band. His recordings have been celebrated with four Dove Awards and one Grammy Award. He has sold in excess of 1.2 million records and had 16 No. 1 radio hits.
Duncan uses social media and crowdfunding to fuel a new business model that allows him to connect directly with his audience, bypassing traditional record labels. Duncan has the creative freedom of an independent artist but is still able to compete with the big record companies for radio airplay and media coverage.
Crowdfunding is a convergence of technology, social media, fundraising and patronage that provides billions of dollars in backing to hundreds of thousands of projects. In addition to providing financial support, crowdfunding projects provide valuable information about public interests, facilitate deep relationships with backers and act as self-funded marketing campaigns for the events, services, products and campaigns they fund.
Duncan’s supporters can receive special incentives for participating in the campaign --autographed albums, house concerts and other personalized rewards.
"My audience and I share many of the same experiences. Interaction with them often is the inspiration for songs," Duncan says. " So it’s exciting to have a way to connect with some of them during the writing and recording process."
Duncan views music as a calling, so he’ll be writing and singing as long as he’s able, with or without a record company.
"If you’ve got a calling, you’re compelled to do it -- regardless of how painful it gets or what everyone else thinks about it. I’m grateful, though, that there are people who have listened to my music and supported me for so many years."
Duncan's critically-acclaimed Conversations album was funded through a 2011 Kickstarter campaign. "I learned so much about doing a crowdfunded project," says Duncan. "I am really happy with how Conversations turned out but I believe I can make the journey even more enjoyable for everyone involved this time.
"The crowdfunding process and how we continued to involve the audience after the campaign closed had a profound influence on my songwriting," says Duncan. "There’s a current of gratitude that runs through Conversations."
