Leeda “Lyric” Jones is one of my favorite Asheville musicians, and she’s looking for crowdfunding support for a new EP she’s titled Perspective. Lyric has launched an indiegogo campaign seeking $5,000. More:

Hi everyone! It’s been over four years since I’ve brought you anything new, and I’m excited to finally be able to do so. On this new EP my band and I have recorded four new tracks for YOU, our fans! I hope that you will help us fund this project, and join us at our EP Realease show on December 11th at the Isis Music Hall!

Check out the video below – it’s really sweet. And here’s a bit more about Lyric from a 2010 story at hypenc.com:

I asked Lyric when she started singing… with a look as if a good friend entered the room… she told me she had been singing since she could remember. She went on to tell me about sitting on her father’s lap as a small child. “He would sing a line to me and I would sing it back to him” Lyric said. It was easy to see how special the relationship with her father is to her. A relationship that continues today. Lyric’s father plays the bass, and joins Lyric when she plays with her full band. Lyric not only has a beautiful voice but does a fine job playing guitar as well. She started playing keyboards as a child, sung growing up, but didn’t start playing guitar until a couple of years ago. It seems like learning to play the guitar has really fueled Lyric’s talent… it will be fun to see how far this STAR will rise
