We sit here in Santa Fe, New Mexico and for 8 years we have produced and recorded some of the best original artists here locally and more as they traveled through our region. We have recorded 87 albums, of which the Frogville records label manufactured 25 of those on cd (also available digitally thru iTunes, cdbaby, Amazon etc.), of those 9 albums stayed on the Roots Radio & FAR radio charts for 5-8 weeks and 5 of those stayed on the charts for 18-26 weeks. We make good music shine. We would like to share our knowledge and experience with young talented musicians to help create greater recordings via technique and performance, so we created the Frogville music project to fund all the things we wish we could do.
We are not in this for the money, but for the love of music and music production, and that shows in our track record, go ahead just Google us. I am just a painter who loved music so much I spent my whole life savings to support this thing we call “creation” and to help ultra talented and equally broke musicians, songwriters, song smiths of IMHO unmeasurable greatness… Nathan Scott Moore, Joe West, Bill Palmer, Boris McCutcheon, John Courage, etc. and more. We built a great studio (just expanded from 900sf to 3300sf) and I believe we made some great albums that unfortunately never had the funding or marketing money to be distributed nationally in the USA, yet we have had some success in Japan and the Netherlands and the UK, standing out as the “cream of the crop” of American americana.
We, as a non-profit 501 (c) (3) are seeking funding via the very few who can afford to give. Then I realized IF we can get enough people to send us 1 $ , a gift everyone can afford to give, I wouldn’t have to keep asking Millionaires for gifts of 50,000 $ which is difficult at best and uncomfortable for both. ….. So we need at least a million really good people who also like really good people and good music and the educational aspect of teaching the next generation the secrets of making better music and to continue the Frogville music scene’s family vibe continue to elevate the music scene in Santa Fe and spread the wealth of our music scene into the ever increasing presence of film, movies, tv and advertising …
