If you&#8217;ve been around and supported us over the years, you&#8217;ll know that we generally launch pre-orders on our website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/girdermusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">girdermusic.com<\/a>.\u00a0 However we wanted to support Les by collaborating with him on a new Kickstarter funding campaign. It cost a small fortune to get the right players, studio time and a great mastering engineer paid for and Les and Joyce paid for that out of their pocket.\u00a0 Your support of this kickstarter goes right to them. This is their kickstarter!\u00a0\u00a0Although we are standing behind the scenes supporting them, let their be no doubt this project will have everything you love about Les Carlsen and everything you want from a Girder product.\u00a0 It will be top notch and contain every aspect of the Girder treatment, of which the Carlsen&#8217;s love. yes, even a LTD collector trading card.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0But&#8230;. I need your help.\u00a0\u00a0Les and Joyce are some of the greatest people that I know.\u00a0 They are genuine kind human beings with a passion for music like no other. Their story on Kickstarter is stunning.\u00a0 You need to go read it, which I will give you the link to in a minute.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>If you heard Les Carlsen previous album, He&#8217;s Coming, you know that it doesn&#8217;t matter how old you are, if you still got it, you got it. What a pleasant surprise that album was.\u00a0\u00a0But here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;.\u00a0 \u00a0this album is better.\u00a0\u00a0I have heard some of the songs that are forthcoming and to tell you that it&#8217;s a real banger would be a serious neglect of the english language.\u00a0 These song are some of the best music you&#8217;ve heard and includes some of the best musicianship out there.\u00a0 Mastered at Serling Sound by Grammy award winner Ted Jensen, it not only rocks.\u00a0 It&#8217;s quality.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0So what do I need your help with?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Well, it&#8217;s simple.\u00a0\u00a0I need you to go and support Les and Joyce Carlsen.\u00a0 Buy a CD, a Vinyl, at Hat, just do something. Pick a reward, big or small and grab some add-ons.\u00a0 Let them know that you are out there and that you&#8217;ve always supported them.\u00a0 They are 76 years of age.\u00a0 I want this to be the biggest blessing and win for them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I cant do it without you.\u00a0 \u00a0Let&#8217;s make this happen together.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Can I count you in?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NaM2RPyhUr-awmbs7yK29yDGBZo0g3lwOvMkOZZV_VQF4h8kWKgKOwiNJh2u23g4J-TnHBudBKSE2YCeS893fChfW9Utb5Bg6JjEltvTGmKZhHRhEwj2ATUq0NktrmoIRVbjg5m7cGrSrnOBALzDb5eLPGWOKLdkBNiwQ=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/d3k81ch9hvuctc.cloudfront.net\/company\/QB24pR\/images\/8d6a39f1-156a-4b9b-8487-dcb86e65c0b4.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Me To the Kickstarter Campaign<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>\u200a<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>More Titles From Les Carlsen<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Les Carlsen &#8211; He&#8217;s Coming (Vinyl) Bloodgood Vocalist w\/Oz Fox, David Zaffiro, Paul Jackson$25.00<a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop now<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Les Carlsen &#8211; He&#8217;s Coming (CD) Bloodgood Vocalist w\/Oz Fox, David Zaffiro, Paul Jackson$15.00<a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop now<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Les Carlsen &#8211; St. John In Exile (DVD)$11.99<a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop now<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Les Carlsen &#8211; 1971 (* New-CD, 2019, Girder Records) Bloodgood Vocalist$6.00<a href=\"https:\/\/ctrk.klclick1.com\/l\/01K2G7CQQY4W3W5PFP0VH73AJ9_12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop now<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Girder supported Kickstarter just launched by Les and Joyce for Les Carlsen&#8217;s New Album,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":15452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[263,228,3197,460],"class_list":["post-15451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-d70","tag-bloodgood-d96","tag-girder-music","tag-kickstarter","tag-les-carlsen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
