I like the story developing around unsigned indie artist Billy the Kid.

The Vancouver singer/songwriter self released an EP in 2009. Her new record will be funded by her fans.

She launched a fan funding campaign on her website www.billythekidonline.com to raise the money necessary to record her new album.

Her fund raising options are interesting including the option to buy publishing rights to half of one of her new songs for $5000, and finally for $10,000 you can own the publishing rights to any song of your choice.

You can view the video here for These City Lights that comes off her 2009 EP and here she does an excellent haunting cover of Gin Blossom’s Found Out About You.
