We did it friends. Thank you. You went above and beyond in helping us wrap up our 3rd full length record, Hey Love. We are so grateful for the support and encouragement and cannot wait to release this record into the wild. Coming at you soon.

AUGUST 11, 2023
Hello dearest friends! Todd and Kim, here. We are so happy to announce the launch of this 30 days fundraising campaign to fund the making of our third full-length record: Hey Love.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to cover our production costs.
Once again, we have a small but mighty number of options for you to choose from. 97% of the money we raise from this crowdsourcing project goes directly to us to fund the making of Hey Love.
Choose any of the options to your right and you'll also get behind-the-scenes access to our Backer's Blog where we will be updating you on the progress of the campaign and offering some background on the songs that make up this new collaboration.
Thank you in advance for your support! We are so excited for this release and continually grateful for our Water and Sand community.
Love,
Kim and Todd (and Sean and Thomas)
