At recent shows, you’ve heard some of our new songs such as “Long May You Live,” “The Postman,” and “All of the Good Things.” We’ve had so many inquiries as to when these songs will be available on CD and we are excited to be making progress toward getting these songs recorded and into your ears. We’ve been working on this album full time for almost 2 YEARS!

To take our new songs to the next level, we have enlisted the genius of a Talented Philadelphia Producer, bought some new equipment, and have hired additional musicians.  

This is where YOU come in.  Like our first CD, the new CD is an independent project in that we have no financial or logistical backing from a record label, and we are reaching out to you, our friends and fans, to be an active participant in its creation. This is an opportunity for you to directly contribute to the project.  We have already done most of the recording, but we still need to complete the most costly steps: production, additional musicians, mastering, and replication costs. These steps will cost us thousands of dollars.

An independent album usually costs between $10,000 to $50,000 dollars.

WE’VE RESERVED A WEEK WITH OUR PRODUCER IN EARLY APRIL, SO WE’RE HOPING TO HAVE PRODUCTION COMPLETED BY LATE APRIL OR EARLY MAY.

You can help make this project a reality by donating at ANY level.  There are some great perks, ranging from Advance Copies of the CD to House Concerts to fabulous original visual art.  As always, we appreciate all of the support you have already given. Thank you in advance for your future support. If you have any questions, please email us at info@theorphantrains.com. 

We’ve chosen to use PAYPAL to process our donations because they only charge 3% where Feed The Muse and other music sites charge 7%. However, if you’d like to donate by sending a check, that would ensure that ALL OF YOUR DONATION WILL BE USED IN SUPPORT OF OUR ALBUM! Please make checks payable to: Amanda Birdsall and Mail to: 9815 87^th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32967

There’s only one DONATE BUTTON, so please fill in the amount you’d like to contribute, and please add your contact information so we can send you your gifts:
