The album will consist of the best live versions of songs from our most recent 10 concerts.

As many of you already know, Young@Heart is running an online Kickstarter fundraising campaign now through November 8 in order to raise money to cover the cost of making a new live album of the best music from our most recent concerts "Woodstock: The Performance Peace" and "Welcome to Your Life.”

To date, we have raised $10,730 from 130 generous donors. But we still need to raise $14,270 with only 11 days to go. So we are wondering if you would please consider donating and also to share this campaign with your friends and family near and far who may be interested in supporting this project.

Because this is a Kickstarter campaign, we need to raise our entire goal of $25,000 before 11:59pm on November 8, 2019, to receive the funds, which will cover the costs of rehearsing, recording, mixing, mastering, and marketing the album. If we succeed, it will be released in May 2020.

The new album will also include a few bonus tracks that capture some of our favorite moments from recent shows including our Mash-Ups with the Chicago Children’s Choir, Jesus Pagan and his Salsa Orchestra and The Green Sisters. We will also include some amazing performances from singers who can no longer tour with us including the phenomenal Andy Walsh and his version of the Rolling Stones' “Miss You,” plus a wonderful rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Watchin’ the River Flow” by our beloved Arthur Klein, who passed away in 2014.

This new album is our way of taking a snapshot of the work of current members of Young@Heart. Like many of our media projects this will be a good way of creating a legacy for them. The Young@Heart movie memorialized the chorus members from 2005-2008. The Young@Heart Now CD focused on the chorus from 2009-2013 and the digital Prison Project recordings captured who we were and what we were doing from 2014-2017.

Thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,

The Young@Heart Team
