Island singer-songwriter Ike Harmon recently launched a crowd-funding campaign to finance the recording of his CD, “These Mansions Made of Sky.”

The album includes 12 songs that explore the depths of loss, regret and uncertainty and the heights of love, hope and transcendence and features Vashon musicians like Kat Eggleston, Rick Dahms, Gregg Curry, Dianne Drouse, Troy Kindred, Barrett Cooper, James Ferrari, Larry Lawon, Christine Goering and Roxanne Lyons.

Harmon describes his music as Cordilleran Rock, a fusion of rock, blues, folk and ballads. Brought up near the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains, Harmon said he wants “to write and perform music as dynamic, vast and beautiful as the Western land” he calls home.

Harmon hopes to raise $11,900 for his project. Contributions can be made at indeigogo.com/projects/ike-harmon-these-mansions-made-of-sky#1/ or contact Harmon at 463-9935. For a sample of his music, listen to Harmon’s songs on his Facebook page.
