Dilly Dally Alley is crowdfunding for their second album!

We've prepared some local treasures out of love and appreciation for your continued support.

If you've been a fan of ours and are excited to hear more, this is your chance to support the funding of our second album! Albums can be expensive to produce, and it sometimes takes a village to pull them off. Will you be a part of our village?

The easiest way to help us out is by directly donating to the crowdfunding campaign, but Dilly Dally Alley really wants to thank you for your support. That's why we've partnered with local Twin Cities restaurants, record shops, and more to bring you prizes for your participation. (More below on potential raffle winnings.) We're also offering some personalized Dilly Dally Alley services and items for purchase.

Our fundraising goal is $8,000. There are countless expectations within a release plan to have good merchandise, good publicity, good album art, a tour, even some may encourage good vinyl. All of this costs money (thousands of moneys!!) that venues, t-shirt sales, and Spotify don’t really sustain. We would love this next release be the quality that our fans are excited about! In order to do this, we need your support.

$8,000 would be enough to produce our album, create quality merchandise, press vinyl copies for the very first time, and expand our reach farther than we could have ever imagined. Obviously, this will take a lot of support. We hope that in time, and after a lot of hard work, we'll have a second album to show for it :)

Here are the rules:

FOR PURCHASE - You can also choose a lovely array of purchasable options. You will enter into the "Born to Dilly Dally" Club, aka a treasured group of people!! Here is what that means:

🦝 $20 = Your name will be on the credits of our second album and we will send you a friendship bracelet in the mail.

🦝 $40 = You will receive our entire discography in CD format and have early access to our second album. Your name will be on the credits of our second album and we will send you a friendship bracelet in the mail.

🦝 $200 = Play basketball with Dilly!! Or if playing isn't your thing, you'll receive a signed basketball and signed album from the band, and your name will be featured more prominently in the credits of our second album.

🦝 $600 = Private show with Dilly!! It's exactly as it sounds--book the band at a special rate!
