Jerry Fish is excited to announce the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to help bring his latest project "Dreaming Of Daniel" to completion.

Featuring 13 songs by the late, great Daniel Johnston, the album has been a labour of love in the making for the past year. The collection features the breathtaking vocals of MayKay from Fight Like Apes, and aims to honour the legacy of Daniel Johnston, a musician who continues to inspire his own work.

The campaign launches on June 19th and will run for 45 days.

Production and Collaboration:

The album is co-produced by Jerry Fish and pianist/composer Cian Boylan at Camden Recording Studios, Dublin. Featuring a lineup of gifted musicians and special guests. The recording of the 13 tracks is complete. The album artwork, including a stunning poster, has been created by Ricardo Cavalo, known for his graphic novel about Daniel Johnston’s life.

Join Jerry on this Journey:

Jerry Fish invites fans and supporters to be part of this exciting project and help bring "Dreaming Of Daniel" to life. Your pledge and support will play a crucial role in completing and sharing this heartfelt tribute to Daniel Johnston with the world.

Backers of the Kickstarter campaign will receive a limited edition vinyl run of the album, including a digital download with a bonus track, available exclusively to backers before the worldwide release. Other rewards include access to a VIP Secret Show in Dublin, and various exclusive goodies.

Why Jerry is looking to his fans for support:

In an era where streaming services dominate music consumption, the financial challenges for artists have intensified. Quality production and recording remain costly and streaming services provide minimal compensation to artists. Jerry Fish is seeking support through Kickstarter to cover the costs of mixing, mastering, and manufacturing the album.

Funds raised will be used to hire a studio and engineer for mixing the 13 tracks, mastering the album for both vinyl and digital release, and manufacturing the vinyl records. The support will not cover the already incurred studio costs but will ensure the project’s completion and global release.

A Journey Inspired by "Hi, How Are You Day”:

Since 2020, Jerry Fish and MayKay have hosted “Hi, How Are You Day” in Dublin on January 22nd, (Daniel's birthday) with the support of Daniel’s Hi, How Are You Project based in Austin, Texas, encouraging new conversations around positive mental health and well-being.

"Dreaming Of Daniel" is inspired by the “Hi, How Are You Day” gigs, we felt compelled to capture the magic and energy of these live performances in a studio setting.
