“Hey I’m Chris. You may know me from an Asheville band called Kovacs and the Polar Bear, or from any of my other musical adventures. Almost a year ago I won a songwriting contest and was granted some studio time.” So begins to Kickstarter pitch from Chris Lee of local indie rock/folk band Kovacs & the Polar Bear. Lee hopes to record his first solo album under the name “Birthday Boy.”
Currently Lee has raised $1,560 or his $2,800 goal and has just over a week remaining to secure the rest of the necessary funding. The Kickstarter campaign ends on Lee’s 32nd birthday.
The forthcoming album will include local singer/songwriter Kellin Watson as well as Lee’s bandmates, Nick Kovacs, Andrew Woodward and Joe Chang. To make a donation, go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/birfdayboy/help-fund-chris-lees-first-ever-solo-album?ref=email
