Going back to 2008 I wrote:

I wasn’t living in Long Beach when Melissa Etheridge made her breakthrough playing locally at a club called Que Sera on 7th Street, but every time I come out and watch Neva I think I’m seeing the beginning of the same thing… The thing that kills me is that Neva doesn’t resort to tricks, just an acoustic guitar and tremendous voice. This girl can rock!

Well, my girl is now in the process of putting together her second recording and decided to use Kickstarter to fund the project. If you’re like me and you can’t believe all the crap on TV and radio that gets promoted as the next thing and how stupid the record labels apparently are… here’s a chance to help a ridiculously talented artist take the next step in her career. Any opportunity I get to promote someone as talented as Neva I think is what we need to do to tell the record labels and media companies that this is what we want, not the crap you keep shoveling in our faces. There’s only a couple days left for Neva to raise the money she needs, so please run, don’t walk and donate to this project here:

Here’s a small sample of the girl’s talent:

Seriously, if you love good music and want to be part of seeing a rising talent, get involved in this project.
