Jars of Clay
During the build up to 20, the band performed several StageIt concerts, featuring each album in their extensive catalog, done acoustically. The fan response was so great that they decided to take what they learned and use it to mark their big anniversary. Using PledgeMusic, they are letting fans choose which songs will be on their celebration project.
Fans that pledge will get a vote on which songs make the final cut. The two songs from each album that get the most votes will be on the release, for a total of 20 tunes. Of course, like any fan-funded campaign, pledgers also get perks depending on the amount of their pledge.
