Congrats to Ellie Holcomb

This past November, singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb started a Kickstarter campaign to try and raise money for a full-length album. Her goal was $40,000 in 50 days. She met the goal in a mere three and the momentum continued to build. By the end of the campaign, 1756 fans had pledged an overwhelming $108,176! This incredible support made Ellie's fundraiser the 4th overall top Christian Kickstarter Campaign as well as one of the Top 30 Most Funded Kickstarter Music campaigns of all time.

As a result, her first full-length solo project (11 tracks), As Sure As The Sun, will release on February 18 on Full Heart Music.

In a press release, Ellie talked about how amazed she was by the response, saying, "I'm not sure that I could be more grateful or humbled by the success that our Kickstarter campaign has had. It still feels like a dream in some ways. I think my favorite thing about Kickstarter is that I'm beginning my journey as an artist with a team of people who believe in me, with a team of people who want to be a part of my story and the songs I've written. I've got 1,756 people who quite literally have my back, and who have spoken life into me along the way. I couldn't think of a better way to release my first full length record and what a beautiful thing for a community of people to make music together." She continued, "I keep thanking God that I've seen a little glimpse of His faithfulness and provision. I'm looking forward to all that's ahead, but I'll never stop looking back to this season of seeing people surround and support me and my music. I think it will always be one of my fondest memories as an artist, and I'm hoping that when my backers hear this album, they'll be thrilled that they were a part of it all from the beginning."
