Singer-songwriter Chip Richter’s newest album “The Dream Tree” was released in July 2014. “The Dream Tree” is titled after an art project of the same name made by Richter’s son, Austin, when he was 8 years old (Austin is now 20 and in art school). Richter says, “The idea came as I was looking at his picture that he drew all those years ago hanging in my studio and it’s so whimsical and it captures that whole childhood carefree attitude towards believing and trusting in your imagination and in your dream and following that. ‘The Dream Tree’ is all about that idea of finding a place to dream and imagine. For this album, I collaborated with other great artists Phil Keaggy, Ed Caner and Zak Morgan.”
The production of the album was made possible by a successful Kickstarter campaign where friends, family and fans alike donated to the cause to make sure the album was created. Richter explained the Kickstarter campaign, “I was very pleased with the way it went and very encouraged not even by the fact that we raised the money but I heard so many encouraging comments of people that are supportive, and it really does help and build you up.” The album is available for purchase for $15 at ChipRichter.com.
