Hello
I know I just sent out my newsletter, and I don't want to over-burden you with emails, but I am writing with great news, excitement and to let you know I am seeking sponsors.
As many of you remember, I had to say good bye to Michael Hsu - the wonderful violinist I had the honor to perform with - just after the ILLUSIONS CD Release party. We lost Michael to Seattle, Washington where he started his medical internship ( after graduating from Duke Med School ) I recently heard from Michael and he had some wonderful news.
On March 13th, I will be in Seattle, attending the world premiere of a piece Michael wrote for full symphonic orchestra. It's called "Synchronicity", and the orchestra that he's been playing with (Puget Sound Symphony Orchestra) is performing it.
I am so incredibly proud of his accomplishments, and honored that he has invited me to come and be a part of it.
However, since this is not a "working trip", in order to do this, I am looking for a few supporters to help sponsor my trip.
For your contribution of $100 I offer you:
4 months of sponsorship on my website,

I will be in Seattle for a week, and looking for places to perform and stay to help offset the expense of this trip. Any suggestions you may have for this as well would be much appreciated.

Here are some words about my CD, Illusions:
" Buchanan... creates a mesmerizing aura with powerful yet restrained vocals over exotic-sounding music (the violin and flute complement her acoustic guitar nicely). While her original tunes are solid, her cover songs truly shine . . ."

The Miami Herald
"...Buchanan has delivered a musical package that beams with soul and sensitivity. Her songwriting is smooth and fluid, with lyrics fitting the cosmic, haunting and stormy backgrounds created by equally fine musicians... The production quality is exceptional and is best appreciated with headphones on."

"...Kim Buchanan ... is already causing a buzz up and down the east coast with her dreamy, trippy take on folk music. Her second CD, Illusions, is folk rock with a psychedelic edge and a soothing, meditative effect on the emotions"
