Overview

Hello world! My name is Alex Bosworth and I'm a singer-songwriter here in the beautiful city of Trussville, AL.

I started writing music a few years ago to help me get out a lot of feelings that I wasn't sure how to express any other way. Over time I have been blessed abundantly on the path of making music. I’ve had the honor to meet so many cool musicians and play in places I never would've believed. After a few years of pouring my heart into music I feel that I am finally ready to share the world of music that exists in my head with the world. 
The material is ready, and the musicians are waiting -- this Plaid Dog campaign is the final step toward creating my first ever, professionally produced studio album.

This campaign is raising funds for my professionally recorded album with Ryan Gallagher  in Boston, MA. Ryan is a seasoned Boston-based producer and engineer with experience working with both established and up-and-coming musicians. Together,  Ryan and I are digging into my original material, writing arrangements, and reaching out to local musicians to bring the songs to life. 

We’ve been able to cover the costs of recording and producing one song, which is ready for you to check out right here on this page. This first song is called “The Way Life Sounded,” and you can check it out below!

While I’ve been able to fund the recording process for "The Way Life Sounded” on my own, to create an album of songs of this quality, studio costs add up quickly. With that said, this campaign can give us a unique opportunity to collaborate and make great art together. Your donation will cover the following costs of my project:

1. Pre-Production: This is where everything starts.  and I will start crafting the arrangements for each song slated for the album. We’ll hold rehearsals to fine-tune the songs and arrangements and talk through new and exciting ideas for how to approach the recording process.

2. Recording: This is when we enter the studio and start capturing the music and where the songs become what you'll hear on this album. This campaign will play a huge role in making sure we have enough time to capture great performances for every member of the band.

3. Mixing & Mastering: Each track will get mixed to create the right balance between instruments, texture and color that make up a track. As a final step, the album will be mastered from beginning to end so that the listening experience is cohesive and carefully choreographed from start to finish.

And what will you get for your generosity and support? So many awesome things!

I am so appreciative and grateful for any support you can lend to this campaign. In exchange for your generosity, I've put together a really exciting group of gifts that are available exclusively through your participation in this campaign.

Check out some examples below and a full list to the right!

It’s hard to express how much this project could potentially change my future. 

I think within music there exists an opportunity to help guide, heal, and unite people through common experience and emotions that are otherwise hard to express. I feel as though for the first time I am ready to offer up my music to that bigger picture. With your support I hope to one day be financially able to channel my creativity into music full time.

Thank you so much for checking out my campaign page. I can't wait to share this music with you.
