We love our community. We need your help.
TD Lind and The Aviators are writing and recording a new album soon and we’d love for you to be involved! You’re our early supporters, the ones who come to our shows, the ones who really know us and our music. And we appreciate you so much!
We are doubling down with this new album. We’re on a mission to get our music out to the world, and we feel our new music can elevate the band to a greater stage, and with it, our community’s spirit.
But let’s be honest… the music business is tough. And it’s getting more difficult with the rise of AI music flooding the streaming services. That said, we know we have an advantage: our musicianship, years of songwriting, and our live shows. You’ve seen us live and you keep coming back because you’re awesome. But in order to make it in this business, we need to bring more listeners into the fold and we feel this new album may be the way.
We are partnering with Carbonite Sound studio and Underground Sun record label (both in Ojai, CA) to create a new Aviators album. We are in pre-production now, and go into the studio to record in mid-September of 2026.
To make this album, we could really use your help.
We’d like this to be a community-driven Aviators project. Would you consider contributing to the cause? Donations of any size are welcome. Use the Underground Sun Venmo on this page, or contact David Franz (or any other band member) directly. For a larger donation, we’d love to have you join us in the album-making process in the studio, or join our shenanigans of a Gourm-Aviators band dinner, or let’s have a fireside chat and jam, or we can schedule an olive oil tasting with award-winning Ojai Olive Oil. Or maybe you’d simply like to contribute to the making of the album and get an executive producer credit? We’re also open to other ideas. Let us know. We can take Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, checks or cash. Contact an Aviator and we’ll get it sorted!
Our goal is to raise $15,000 to get the record off the ground.
Thank you in advance! We love you.
