Hello world! My name is Elizabeth Saulsbury and I'm a singer-songwriter here in the beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia.

Writing, performing, and releasing music have become a vital part of my life. My very favorite days are the ones that revolve around music: whether I’m gigging at a local venue, concepting a new song, or recording in a studio. I’ve had the opportunity to release several original works over the past few years: my holiday EP “Peppermint,” my first full-length studio album “Black & White,” and my darker album “These Violent Delights.”

Now, I’m working on something new: an album that captures a spirit of freedom and renewal. It’s energetic, it’s theatrical, and I think you’re going to really love it.
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 Mike Davidson  in Boston, MA. Mike is a seasoned Boston-based producer and engineer with experience working with both established and up-and-coming musicians. Together, Mike 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 “Bloom,” and you can check it out above!

While I’ve been able to fund the recording process for "Bloom” 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. Carter 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!

Your support of this project would mean the world to me.

“Bloom” is the kind of album I’ve always wanted to make: groovy and atmospheric with classic rock influences. I hope that it will help me find new collaborators in my network to make more music together. But this album doesn't just signify an important chapter in my journey as an artist; I hope that “Bloom” also brings a sense of joy and connection to my listeners. 

With your support, I can bring it to life.
