16 years of Song A Day
@jmann.eth
Fall, 2011 Song A Day #1000 In 2011, I celebrated my first thousand by raising $12k on @Kickstarter (which was a ton of money to me at the time!) to fly my friends @CarolSingsLand and @nick_krill_ to my home in Berkeley. The idea was that Song A Day had always been (and still is) a solo affair; what would it be like to have a Song A Day team? IT WAS AWESOME. We spent an entire month writing & recording together, involving all the musicians I knew. We live streamed it all, before that was really a thing. The result was Song A Day: The Album. The actual Song A Day 1000 was performed LIVE in SF with everyone. (Plot twist: it was actually Song 1001 because my math sucked back then š )

Summer, 2014 Song A Day #2000 My first kid was just born and my life was baby induced fever dream chaos. So what did I do? Made a SONG COLLAGE using all 2000 previous songs in ONE VIDEO. (The song itself was reworked Song #988 which I'd already reworked on day 1500. Songception.)

Spring, 2017 Song A Day #3000 This one was... underwhelming? š¬ My second kid was just born and I was deep in the trenches of "100 Songs About Trump's First 100 Days" (don't ask). BUT I did launch this site where you could see every song from that date in previous years, a version of which still lives on my site today!
