If we reach this goal we will record the album as we envisioned it but with fewer original drawings for the artwork and in a jewel case.
We hope to enrich the world with another great celtic folk record. ;) We have been touring as a duo since 2014 and are eager to record new material for our second album, climbing to the highest reaches of Mount Folk...or at least get to the second base camp.
The goal of this project is to produce the second album by German based folk duo The Hoodie Crows which will be called "Two in the Bush". We intend to record 11 tracks for the album at least five of which will be originals. It is aimed at all those who love hand-made music both traditional and original.
Because supporting small artists has become ever more important. Because the world needs more music. Because together we can create something unique, off the beaten track of mainstream music. So if you love folk music from the Scottish and Irish tradition (as well as other English speaking countries) and originals in the same vein, please consider supporting this project. We promise to do our best to deliver an album that even surpasses our debut.
Most of the money will be used to pay for the studio sessions and mixing/mastering of the album. We'll return to the No-Limits studio in Reiskirchen because Jürgen Zimmer's work was so vital to the sound of "On the Wing". The rest of the money will be used to pay for the production of the perks and to paying guest musicians and other helpers.
Mainly, The Hoodie Crows, of course:
Sebastian Barwinek: vocals, mandola, bouzuouki, guitar, bodhrán, harmonica, mandolin
Johannes Single: vocals, guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin
We are joined by a host of great guest musicians (who will be revealed in due time) in recording with our dear friend Jürgen Zimmer. Jürgen will also help producing the album. The cover will be drawn by our dear friend Danjal Waziri, photo and video material is courtesy of our equally dear friend Claus Jahn and the last good friend on the core team is Rüdiger Reinhardt who will design the final artwork.

Our second funding goal has now also been met, thanks a million for that! :) You might wonder now: WHAT'S NEXT?
Our new stretch goal: if we hit 7000€ we'll record another song. So if you want more music from us, feel free to keep on spreading the word!. :)
