PROJECT UPDATES: 🥁
Cover Art for "7" Coming! We've contacted Koldo Barroso to design the cover for "7". He designed our "Keep On!" album cover and logo and is excited about the 60's 007/ Avengers vibe. Check out some of his work here.
"7" Souvenir Book! - Daniel Colvin has stepped up to help me materialize an idea I have for an album souvenir book. It will be the size of a CD with all the credits, liner notes, lyrics, photos and stories from the process, plus some surprises! It's for all the streamers who want to deep dive into the album and know who's playing what. What do you think of this idea? Reply and let us know if this interests you!
7 Promotional Photos! Bobbi Townes who happens to be the daughter of Bobby Floyd will be undertaking a photo shoot of us with Bobby in her space Townes Creative Studio. Pictures coming next month!
Final Mix! Well, it's coming along. I'm stuck on one song. I've spent days recording and re-recording the vocals and playing with percussion. Long Tall Deb, Lauren Tucker, Bobby Floyd and of course The Rooster have been great ears guiding me deeper into what this song wants to be.
PR & Marketing: Ariel Hyatt & Mecca Godzilla from Cyber PR have been working with us to strategize a release schedule and plan. So grateful for their expertise! We're planning a waterfall release, which means a new track every month until the full album releases. (This is on Spotify) It gives us more opportunities to get on Editorial Playlists = more streams = more fans = maybe more than a few pennies. 😜 All that means ... look for the first song in the next couple months!
Become a SPONSOR! It's not too late, but act quickly so we can get your name or logo on the album and in the souvenir book! You'll also be listed on our website and socials. It's all possible with a donation of $100+ or a $10+ monthly donation. A donation of any amount will get you into our private Facebook group and ears on the music before it's released and of course be greatly appreciated. For more information on levels and other perks please visit The Jukebox.

Lil' Red & The Rooster: updates*concerts*music*video*intrigue COCK-A-DOODLIN'! May The Fourth be in You! Did you know May 4th is The Rooster's birthday? No wonder he has that gift of extraterrestrial force within his fingers, right? Pascal Fouquet (like bouquet 😉) will be ... hmmm ... 42? 52? 62? 102? You'll have to scroll down for clues. It's been a surreal month for me since the passing of my Dad. One insight that keeps me smiling is simply that, he smiles through me. He was an amazing man...
