Bernie Torme Terrified By Crowdfunding Success For New Album

12/23/2014
. (The Blues) Bernie Torme admits the success of his crowdfunding campaign gave him a sense of terror at first. He asked fans to support the production of solo album Flowers And Dirt, his first studio project in 15 years.

But to his surprise, he secured the total he was looking for within a matter of days, and went on to bring in over four times what he'd originally asked for. Torme tells Sleazegrinder: "It became a double album, and I was thinking, 'Well - this is terrifying!' Because I really didn't expect to get the money at all.

"It was, 'You have to complete it.' That was great because it was just like the old days: it had to be finished. I found that really helpful because it was almost like having a gun being held to my head." Read more here.
