We're making an album "Seven Songs For America" please help us by donating to the production.
Inspired by Barack Obama and his supporters, the composers, performers and producers strongly believe the momentum that is transforming lives around the world needs an inspirational sound track. "Seven Songs For America" captures the spirit of America during these history-making times. Co-produced by Jon and Joe Bergevin (best known as Bergevin Brothers Music) and Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam, the album features original songs performed by Seattle's Pastor Pat Wright and her Total Experience Gospel Choir. The album is being co-produced by Matt Cameron.
"Fired Up, Ready to Go" was the first song inspired by Barack Obama's candidacy and was followed by "Rise Up, Daylight Breaks." In response to the tremendous outpouring of support with comments like "This should be the campaign song" and "Where can I buy this amazing music," those involved agreed to expand the project leading to "Seven Songs for America."
In honor and recognition of this spirit, all proceeds from "Seven Songs For America" album sales will go to support Pastor Pat Wright's ministry to rebuild the lives and homes of Katrina victims in Mississippi and Louisiana. Pastor Wright was honored for her work on behalf of Katrina survivors when she was named an ABC 2007 person of the year for her ministry.
Please donate to our Album Project.
Producing an album of this magnitude has a lot of costs. Because of this, we've setup a way for you to help by allowing you to donate to our cause and help build this grass-roots American epic album of uplifting music. If you're interested in the work we're doing, please help us do the best job possible of producing the album by donating here. A 250$ donation will get you an autographed copy of the CD when it is available. A donation of 1000$ or more will get your name on the album jacket as one of our gold partner supporters.
Joe & Jon have been writing and playing music together for twenty-five years. This project is the
culmination of their efforts. They have recently reformed and formalized their writing team to create new
sounds and explore many musical genres that span both passions from early life as well as their acquired
tastes along their journey.
Joe has been writing songs (music & lyrics) seriously for fifteen years and has already completed one
successful recording project with his older brother Jon and younger brother Jake. Joe’s taste in music
leans more toward the pop genre.
Jon has been studying piano since he was six years old and focused specifically on Jazz since he was 18. To
the writing team he brings technical skill and musicality. His primary focus is on the music, but delves
into lyrics occasionally. He has also been playing drums since high school.
Jon, Joe and Jake collaborate hard. Also see our other brother Jake’s site on myspace. He's really a great
musician and will collaborate with the projects regularly. Jake
