As most of our readers know, music is a long established, and important tradition on Ocracoke Island. Every year the cost for producing CDs looms larger, as does the cost of promotion. Molasses Creek, Ocracoke's long established roots/folk band, is planning another international radio push and winter tour to coincide with the release of their 13th recording ("Something Worth Having"). They hope to beat their 2012 record of #4 on the national folk charts for "An Island Out of Time"!
To help reach their current goal, Molasses Creek has initiated a crowd fundraising campaign that includes a promotional website with a quirky (what else would you expect?) 3 minute video, information about the history of the band, their current projects, and associated costs. There is a wide range of pledge opportunities, with appropriate prizes associated with each one.
