NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 29, 2015) – When John Berry and
his wife, Robin, relocated to Nashville last summer, he knew it would
spur creative energy. Now, less than a year later, Berry is looking
forward to getting back into the studio for the follow-up to his 2011
record, RealMan.RealLife.RealGod.
“Robin and I were given the chance to move to Nashville last summer
and it has been awesome! I have been renewed musically and taken
advantage of every opportunity I could to submerse myself into the
writing world,” Berry said. “I cannot recall spending this much time
writing since I last wrote Standing On The Edge Of Goodbye in 1995. I
have truly enjoyed this resurgence of creativity.”
Berry’s untitled project will be a two-disc set. The first disc will
feature 10 brand new country songs that he says are “absolute John
Berry.” The second disc in the set comprises five inspirational and
Christmas songs.
To secure funding for his new album, the independent recording artist
knew exactly where they would go. For his previous album, Berry relied
on fans through the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter.
He’s hoping to recapture that success for his upcoming album. For the
upcoming project Berry is looking to raise $50,000 in 40 days.
“With our last Kickstarter campaign, we exceeded our goal and I
believe we’ll do it again with this project,” Berry said. “Any monies
raised above and beyond the $50,000 will be put towards some great
marketing and promotion.”
Berry is excited to get back into the studio and get work. “I have
been preparing for this new recording for two years. It’s time to get
started! Once the process begins, it will move quickly,” Berry said.
