Preorder My New Record on Kickstarter!

March 20, 2018

At long last, Dot Levine and Their Singular Band have recorded their debut album! This is traditional jazz reimagined and cask-conditioned in the minds of some of Philadelphia’s most notable musical innovators. Hearing these vibrant performances, one can hardly believe that music this vital and stirring is nearly a century old.

Slated for release next spring, Dot Levine and Their Singular Band …Can’t Give You Anything But Love captures the unparalleled musicianship and irreverent charm that you’ve come to expect whenever you get an earful of this ensemble. Very soon, you’ll be able to take this music with you wherever you go. That is, if Dot can raise the funds necessary to cover the costs of producing the album. Won’t you please consider supporting this Kickstarter campaign by pre-ordering your copy now?

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, which means the band will receive funding only if their goal of $11,300 is met. To that end, Dot has created a number of exclusive rewards that will be available only for the duration of this campaign, so be sure to scoop them up while they last!

Here are a few reward highlights for your consideration:

  • Special request song, recorded by Dot just for you
  • Live request song, performed by the whole Singular Band
  • Your name on the CD’s donor panel
  • A set of temporary tattoos that re-create Dot’s body art
  • Your name (or a friend’s/ sweetie’s/ family member’s name) in a song
  • Buttons! Autographed CDs!…and other delights!

You can get a taste of the recordings they have made at the link above. When you support at any level, you’ll receive updates about the progress of the campaign, and the project as a whole– including exclusive video bloopers, teasers, and the unending gratitude of one Dot Levine.

How do you fix an amplifier? Honestly, if you don' How do you fix an amplifier? Honestly, if you don't know: You open it up and (without electrocuting yourself) bang it around with a (non-conductive) chopstick until something starts making too much noise.

I just "repaired" my homemade amplifier for tomorrow night's show. I opened it up, smushed an eating implement around in it, and it inexplicably started working normally, so I put it back together. Get to the show early, because it will probably stop working at some point during the show.

8-11. No cover. Fiume. Incredible quintet + special guests. Incredible drinks.
