PledgeMusic (

direct-to-fan platform for raising funds for musicians to record and
tour, today announced a Pledge campaign with acclaimed
singer-songwriter Meiko in support of her tour with Hanson. Fans
attending the shows will be treated to a preview of new songs from
"The Bright Side," Meiko's new album due out in early 2012.
As part of the Pledge campaign, Pledgers will receive an exclusive EP
available only through PledgeMusic and at Meiko's live shows. The EP
will not be distributed digitally or through any online or physical
stores. In addition, all who pledge will have access to Meiko's

"A campaign like this shows exactly how PledgeMusic can help artists
maintain a connection with their fans and get out there with their
music," said Benji Rogers, founder of PledgeMusic. "Meiko is an
amazing songwriter and performer and we're very happy to be able to
work with her on this project."

About PledgeMusic
PledgeMusic was founded by musician Benji Rogers to
give artists a DIY option for pursuing and augmenting their careers.
The company was designed to be transparent and open, while benefiting
artists and fans. Artists will get the funding and promotional
support that they need, the fan will get the music and artist
interaction that they want at the price that they want to pay, and
charities who have scant fundraising resources will receive a
percentage of the money raised.
