This is the poster that comes folded up inside the sleeve of the new album. On it there are the names of every single patron I've ever had up until the album went into physical production (newbies--I wish I could go back and include you, too!). I read every name. I tried to take a moment to fully take in the weight of what it means to have had so many individuals, many of whom I have never had the honor of meeting, decide to become a part of my team and directly support the creation of my music. I get goosebumps just writing that.
I know I've thanked you all a million times, and I will thank you a million more. This album would not exist without you. Thank you for supporting this journey, thank you for embracing me as I am, thank you for allowing me the time to write, the time to explore sounds and produce this album on my own, thank you for being my cheerleaders, my online family, for keeping me company along the way, for inspiring me to make the best and most honest music I can, and for allowing me to do it on my terms. Thank you for being the label I've always dreamed of--one that understands me, trusts me, that doesn't want me to be anyone other than myself or make any music other than the music that moves me.
I am so proud and honored and grateful to call you my label. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.

p.s. If you want a physical album, I'll have them with me out on the road or you can order one from http://shop.kinagrannis.com
p.p.s. I know it's a bit of an undertaking trying to find your name on this poster! I ordered them chronologically, so if you've been on for years and years, you should be closer to the top, and if you are fairly new, you'll be closer to the bottom. Some of you have sent photos to me with your names circled and IT'S MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! <3
p.p.p.s. We actually have 9 brand new patrons that joined us last night at the San Diego show. Sending out a warm welcome and thank you to all of you! Welcome to the fam :)
