I'm On a Podcast! And some Kickstarter Updates.

Hello pals,

I'm on a podcast! I virtually sat down with podcaster Jim Boy Star and talked about my Kickstarter, finding a studio, and sweet, sweet revenge.

Here is the interview! Give it a listen!

In other news, my Kickstarter is more than halfway through and I am ALMOST at that glorious halfway point. As I post this, I need about 30 dollars. Anyone? ...Bueller? 

Fingers crossed we hit that goal by Easter (when the campaign ends)!

I've had some exciting gigs lately. Some kids parties, and I played at Pianos, Caffe Vivaldi, and Lovecraft. Cool stuff! My friends get all the bonus points for coming out and supporting me throughout gig-madness these past few months. I won't have another show until May probably, so I can really buckle down and focus on all the work for the album.

Here is my latest video...I'm talking!

Wild, right?

I'm a fan of this one too:

That's all for now, folks! Please please please check out that Kickstarter! Every dollar will make the music *that* much more beautiful! And tell your friends! Be annoying! It works for me! Just kidding, sort of?

Love ya, miss ya, see ya soon.

xoxo Jill

New Videos!

Hello hello! Recently I launched "Music Monday" where I upload a new video of a cover or original every Monday. 

This is my latest. It's an original song about love and you should check it out. 

I also covered a song called "Shake Sugaree" with Gordon. That one seemed to be a hit!

Uploading a song every week is a lot of work!! I'm going for quantity over quality here people, and it shows. I figure having a bunch of decent-quality videos is better than having two really high def ones? What do I know.

I have a gig in the Lower East Side in NYC this Saturday at 8. Info for tickets is in a few earlier blog posts. I will be sharing my secrets and giving free things away, so check it out. I'm working on my social media presence....experimenting with facebook "boosts" and whatnot. It seems to work! And still recording that album, working at the coffee shop, occasionally babysitting, and livin' it up this summer in the city. Warm weather goes well with Jill.

I'm giving away fun stuff all the time, so "like" my Facebook page to enter to win these prize packs and keep updated on my music!

Catch ya on the flip side!

Notice anything different about me?

I've been revamping the website! I added my SoundCloud under the "listen" tab (now it actually makes sense! Before it was just videos) and have been playing with new fonts and colors! I'm slowly adding more photos from my shoot with Sargeant Creative. 

I absolutely love all the photos they took! Check out the new shots in my Gallery! And definitely scroll through some of their wedding shoots on their website. Multiple friends have told me they check the site regularly, just because their photos are "so pretty!"

Couldn't have said it better myself. 

I'll be adding more songs onto SoundCloud as I record them, but as of right now, I have three originals up there, and tons of live/ studio covers.

Tickets to my gig on August 15! It's $10 at the door but only $5 online in advance!

Another Sarah Lawrence student will be playing that night! Rowan goes on at 7 and I go on at 8. So really, what's stopping you?!?!

I got a new app called FontCandy and it's a little too much fun. I can't stop making funky posters like this!

PS if you buy a ticket to my show, email jillsargeantmusic@gmail.com a screenshot of your receipt and you'll get my full length album (once it's ready at the end of summer) for FREE. Yes, free. 

Alright my puppies, goodnight and good luck!!
