We don’t promote every Israeli artist that has a new album coming out, but we love what Amiram Eini brings to the music scene in Israel, and when we saw his quest for funds to finish off his debut album, we thought we’d help spread the word.
What is extra awesome about his request for funds is that he’s done it through the great community site startart.co.il, where artists request funding for projects, but give something back in return.
For example, Amiram will give you two new songs in MP3 format if you give 10 shekels, for 100 shekels he’ll send you the new CD and a ticket to one of his shows near you, and so on…however, if you’ve got a spare 20,000 shekels lying around, you’ll get all of the afore-mentioned goodies and others, AND he’ll fly to wherever you are in the world and perform in your living room! I’m sure he’ll even bring some hummus with him, if you ask nicely :-)
Read more about his project here and how you can contribute.
In the meantime, if you get a chance try and catch him on his current tour, or just make do, for now, with a listen to this, one of our faves…
