Making music isn't something that's taken lightly. Whether it's recording a new album, going on tour, or shooting a music video, artists want to strive for the highest standard of quality possible.
Steampunk musicians tend to be resourceful and creative with their tools and their talent. Nevertheless, to realize their vision, sometimes they just need a direct influx of funds to make their vision a reality.
That's where crowdfunding comes into the frame. Below are current fundraisers taking place throughout the month of March. Donate today. support these artists, and get some really cool, unique gifts and music in return!
