Are you a videographer with the means to shoot a 4-minute music video relatively cheaply? Then get in touch, as Kevin hopes to do a music video for the new song "Walkin' Along." No special effects needed, just scenes of him and a couple of friends walking through Maplewood or another colorful neighborhood.

2023 represents the 15th anniversary of Kevin "receiving compensation" for making music. As such, he is thinking of putting together a limited-edition photobook of the journey. The book would contain fan comments, selected reviews, lyrics to some of Kevin's key songs and of course, lots of photos. If you have memories of a particular show, photos you've taken or (especially) something to say about one of Kevin's songs you really like, we want to hear from you. It would be great to include some lively fan commentaries in this volume, which we hope to raise money for.

Artists rely on fan support more than ever these days, especially since much of their music is given away for FREE or mere pennies. The physical presentation has definitely moved down the list of "preferred format" for most consumers. Therefore, we would like to invite your contributions (in any amount) to keep the "Kevin Renick adventure" going. Tons of new songs await recording, along with a myriad of other projects. 

You can contribute via PayPal to: kevinrenickbusiness@gmail.com. You'll receive an acknowledgment of your contribution, an autographed photo and your choice of a CD or two or other gift. We are also working on the idea of a "House Party" gift for any contributor willing to send $200 or more. Watch this space for updates.
