Toronto, Canada, May 7
2013. As the music industry changes rapidly and demand informs supply, fans
play an active role in their favorite artists' next move. With her 13th
recording, “The Women,”
Jess McAvoy gives crowd-funding backers the opportunity to become part of the
recording and production process.
Jess McAvoy will launch an Indie a Go Go campaign on May 7 2013, which
will run for 45 days. The campaign aims to fund McAvoy’s thirteenth
release on Henduwin Music, her own music label, as she opens up her back
catalogue and outs the songs that have been in hiding.
The Women. Twelve songs spanning seven years, capturing aspects of McAvoy’s relationships with a number of different women. Lovers, friends, and even her mother.
“G’day, My name’s Jess McAvoy. I am from Perth, Western Australia and I currently live in Toronto! I want to talk to you about my new record, The Women, and how [gestures at the viewer] we’re going to make this record together,” says McAvoy in the video she filmed for the campaign.
The release of 2008’s “As the Sun Falls” expanded McAvoy’s audience internationally, especially through the spin-off video from her Melbourne concert featuring Grammy Award-winning Wally De Backer (aka Gotye) performing a duet with McAvoy on her classic, “The Sailor.”
